Scotsman 16-0866-21 Thermostatic Expansion Valve Txv Kit

Product Description

The SCOTSMAN 16-0866-21 is an OEM thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) kit designed for commercial ice machines. The TXV meters refrigerant flow between the high-side and low-side components of the refrigeration circuit, regulating superheat and maintaining consistent evaporator temperatures. This kit is a direct OEM replacement, meaning it is built to the same tolerances as the original factory part. Licensed refrigeration technicians performing a compressor swap, refrigerant system repair, or routine valve replacement will find this a straightforward drop-in service component.

This TXV kit is intended for commercial ice machine applications where precise refrigerant metering is critical to achieving consistent ice production and protecting the compressor from liquid slugging. It is suited for low-temperature refrigeration systems typical of cube and flake ice machines. The kit format provides the valve and associated components needed for a complete replacement service call.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA Section 608 certified refrigeration or HVAC technician. Before service, recover all refrigerant from the system in accordance with EPA regulations and de-energize the unit at the disconnect. The TXV must be brazed or connected per the manufacturer specifications using proper refrigeration-grade tubing practices. After installation, the system must be evacuated, leak-checked, and recharged to the nameplate refrigerant specification before returning the unit to service.
