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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOEM replacement TXV kit maintains factory refrigerant metering performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThermostatic design regulates superheat for consistent evaporator temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKit format includes valve and associated components for complete replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports warranty compliance when replacing failed or degraded expansion valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor fits within standard ice machine refrigeration compartments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with SCOTSMAN CME, CME250, and additional models.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SCOTSMAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16-0866-21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SCOTSMAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138554855730,"sku":"16-0866-21","price":224.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/305531096.gif?v=1778259046","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/scotsman-16-0866-21-thermostatic-expansion-valve-txv-kit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
