Sporlan 960053 Oil Check Valve 3/8 Male Flare X Female Flare

Product Description

The SPORLAN 960053 is an oil check valve designed for use in refrigeration systems where controlled oil flow and backflow prevention are required. This valve features a 3/8-inch male flare inlet and a female flare outlet, allowing straightforward integration into existing flare-connected refrigeration piping. Oil check valves like this one protect compressor oil circuits by permitting flow in one direction only, helping maintain proper lubrication under varying system pressures. Installation is typically handled by licensed refrigeration or HVAC-R technicians as part of compressor oil management or oil separator circuits.

The 960053 is suited for use in commercial and industrial refrigeration applications where oil return and oil circuit integrity are critical to system reliability. It is commonly installed in refrigeration systems using flare-type connections on lines associated with oil separators, compressors, or oil reservoirs. The 3/8-inch flare sizing makes it compatible with standard refrigeration tubing configurations found in a wide range of system designs.

Key Features

• One-directional oil flow control to prevent backflow in refrigeration oil circuits
• 3/8-inch male flare x female flare connections for standard flare-fitting integration
• Compact single-unit construction suitable for tight equipment room installations
• Manufactured by Sporlan Valve Company, a recognized name in refrigeration flow controls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service component for refrigeration systems utilizing 3/8-inch flare oil circuit connections, such as those found in compressor oil separator configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC-R or refrigeration technician in accordance with applicable codes. Recover all refrigerant and depressurize the system before disconnecting any flare fittings. Verify flow-direction orientation before tightening connections, as check valves are directional components. Use proper flare wrenches and leak-check all connections after installation.
