This component is a core element of the refrigerant circuit, redirecting flow from the compressor to either the indoor or outdoor coil depending on the operating mode. Licensed HVAC technicians handle installation and replacement of this valve as part of heat pump service and repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reversing valve is intended for use in heat pump applications where the system must alternate between heating and cooling cycles. It is typically found in residential and light commercial heat pump equipment. When the solenoid coil is energized or de-energized, the valve slides to redirect refrigerant flow accordingly, making it a critical component for proper system operation throughout both seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls refrigerant flow direction for heat pump heating and cooling modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolenoid-actuated slide mechanism for reliable mode switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM-specification replacement for RHEEM heat pump equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually as a single unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement reversing valve for RHEEM heat pump systems. Refer to your equipment documentation or contact a qualified distributor to confirm fitment for your specific model before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eReversing valve replacement is a refrigerant-circuit procedure that must be performed by an EPA Section 608 certified HVAC technician. Recover all refrigerant from the system before opening the refrigerant circuit. The valve is brazed into the refrigerant lines, requiring proper torch work and nitrogen purging during installation to prevent oxidation inside the tubing. Always verify correct solenoid coil wiring and system operation in both heating and cooling modes after completing the repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RHEEM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 61-102498-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RHEEM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383059349810,"sku":"61-102498-15","price":79.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312674670.webp?v=1782586920","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/rheem-61-102498-15-reversing-valve","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
