Rheem 611028a Txv Expansion Valve Bleed Port Check Valve R22

Product Description

The RHEEM 611028a is a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) designed for use with R22 refrigerant in split-system and packaged air conditioning equipment. It includes an integrated bleed port and check valve, allowing refrigerant to equalize pressure during the off cycle and flow in one direction during normal operation. Licensed HVAC technicians install this component as part of the refrigerant metering circuit, where it regulates refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil based on superheat. The combination of bleed port and check valve functionality reduces the need for separate equalizing components and supports reliable system startup.

This TXV is suited for residential and light commercial cooling systems charged with R22 refrigerant. The bleed port design allows pressure equalization across the valve during the off cycle, which reduces compressor start load on systems without hard-start components. The built-in check valve prevents reverse refrigerant flow during the off cycle, making this valve appropriate for systems where refrigerant migration is a service concern. Install scenarios typically include evaporator coil replacements and refrigerant circuit retrofits on existing R22 equipment.

Key Features

• Thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) with R22 refrigerant compatibility
• Integrated bleed port for pressure equalization during off cycle
• Built-in check valve to prevent reverse refrigerant flow
• Reduces compressor start load by equalizing system pressure
• Supports OEM-style replacement in existing R22 refrigerant circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement TXV for RHEEM residential and light commercial R22 refrigerant systems. Specific compatible model numbers were not provided in the available data; confirm fitment against the equipment model and service manual before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by an EPA 608-certified HVAC technician. Recover all system refrigerant and relieve system pressure before removing or installing the valve. Verify superheat and subcooling settings after installation to confirm proper TXV operation. Follow all applicable local codes and manufacturer service instructions during refrigerant circuit work.
