Rheem 61-107970-10 Expansion Valve Txv

Product Description

The RHEEM 61-107970-10 is a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) designed to meter refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil of a split-system or packaged HVAC unit. The TXV responds to suction line superheat, modulating refrigerant flow to maintain efficient heat transfer across varying load conditions. This valve is a direct OEM-style replacement, sold as a single unit, and is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians during system servicing or refrigerant-side repairs.

This TXV is suited for residential and light-commercial refrigeration or air conditioning systems where precise refrigerant metering is required. It is installed on the liquid line inlet of the evaporator coil, replacing a failed or improperly sized metering device. Installations typically occur during off-season maintenance, coil replacement, or when a system presents symptoms of poor superheat control such as icing, short cycling, or reduced capacity.

Key Features

• OEM thermostatic expansion valve engineered for accurate superheat control
• Meters refrigerant flow in response to evaporator load changes
• Direct replacement unit sold individually (each)
• Designed for use in split-system and packaged HVAC applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement thermostatic expansion valve for RHEEM residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. Refer to the equipment service manual or RHEEM parts lookup to confirm fitment for your specific model before ordering.

Installation Notes

TXV replacement should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding the appropriate EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling certification. Recover all refrigerant from the system before removing the existing valve. After installation, leak-test all connections and verify suction line superheat is within the equipment manufacturer's specified range before returning the system to service. Follow all applicable local and national mechanical codes during installation.
