Ruud 61-105338-90 Expansion Valve Txv Kit

Product Description

The RUUD 61-105338-90 is an OEM expansion valve (TXV) kit designed for Rheem HVAC equipment. The thermostatic expansion valve meters refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil, maintaining the correct superheat level across a range of load conditions. This precise metering action protects the compressor from liquid slugging and supports efficient system operation. Licensed HVAC technicians install this component as part of refrigerant-side service or system repair on compatible cooling and heat pump equipment.

This TXV kit is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where the original expansion valve has failed or is performing outside of acceptable parameters. It is sourced as a direct OEM replacement for Rheem HVAC systems, ensuring original fit and function. Technicians replacing a failed or hunting TXV will find this kit provides the correct valve assembly for a proper restoration of system performance.
