Sporlan 168014 Expansion Valve Body 1/4x1/2 Odf Sqe

Product Description

The SPORLAN 168014 is a refrigerant expansion valve body designed for use in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The SQE body style accepts interchangeable thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) components, allowing technicians to replace the power element or adjust the valve configuration without removing the body from the system. The 168014 features a 1/4-inch inlet connection and a 1/2-inch ODF outlet connection. HVAC/R technicians and refrigeration service professionals install this part during new construction, system retrofit, or component-level repairs where the valve body remains in service.

The 168014 SQE body is suited for refrigeration and comfort-cooling applications where a serviceable, field-adjustable TXV assembly is required. The interchangeable body design is commonly used in commercial refrigeration cases, walk-in coolers, and light commercial air conditioning systems. The ODF (outside diameter fitting) connections are compatible with standard copper tubing practices used throughout the industry. Installers should verify the refrigerant type, operating pressure range, and required capacity when selecting the matching power element for this body.

Key Features

• SQE interchangeable body style allows power element replacement without removing the valve body from the line
• 1/4-inch inlet connection for precise refrigerant metering on the high-pressure side
• 1/2-inch ODF outlet connection compatible with standard copper tubing practices
• Designed for use in refrigeration and air conditioning TXV assemblies
• Component-level serviceability reduces system downtime during field repairs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or serviceable expansion valve body for refrigeration and air conditioning systems requiring a Sporlan SQE-style interchangeable TXV body with ODF connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC/R technician holding an EPA Section 608 certification. Recover all refrigerant from the system before opening any refrigerant lines. Use OFN (oil-free dry nitrogen) for pressure testing after installation, and leak-check all brazed or flared connections before recharging. Confirm the correct power element is matched to the refrigerant type and application before completing the assembly.
