Sporlan 169161 ERJ-1/4-C Thermostatic Expansion Valve 0.25 Ton 1/4 Inch Odf Inlet R-134a

Product Description

The Sporlan 169161 ERJ-1/4-C is a thermostatic expansion valve designed for use in refrigeration and air conditioning systems operating on R-134a refrigerant. Known in the trade as a TXV or TEV, this metering device controls the flow of liquid refrigerant into the evaporator coil. It responds to changes in evaporator outlet temperature and pressure, maintaining the correct superheat level for efficient system operation. This precise refrigerant metering prevents liquid slugging in the compressor and ensures the evaporator is fully used without overflow. HVAC technicians and refrigeration service professionals rely on thermostatic expansion valves like this one to keep systems running at peak efficiency across a wide range of load conditions. The ERJ-1/4-C is rated at 0.25 ton capacity, making it well suited for small commercial and residential refrigeration applications. It features a 1/4 inch ODF inlet connection and a 1/2 inch outlet connection, fitting standard copper tube assemblies used throughout the trade. The valve body is constructed with a bi-metal composition, which provides reliable thermal response and long service life. Parker Sporlan is a recognized manufacturer of refrigeration controls and flow components, and this valve is made in the USA. The unit measures 4.75 inches in length, 5 inches in width, and 3 inches in height, with a weight of 1.02 pounds. It is sold individually and carries no Prop 65 warnings. Whether replacing a failed expansion valve or building a new refrigeration circuit, the Sporlan ERJ-1/4-C delivers dependable refrigerant flow control for small-capacity R-134a systems.
