Sporlan 960055 Oil Check Valve 3/8 Inch Mfl X Ffl

Product Description

The SPORLAN 960055 is an oil check valve designed for use in refrigeration systems where controlled oil flow direction is critical to compressor protection and system longevity. This valve features a 3/8 inch male flare (MFL) inlet and a 3/8 inch female flare (FFL) outlet connection configuration. Oil check valves of this type allow oil to flow in one direction while preventing backflow, helping maintain proper lubrication at the compressor during system operation and off cycles. Installation is typically performed by licensed refrigeration technicians and HVAC-R service professionals working on commercial or industrial refrigeration equipment.

The 960055 is suited for refrigeration applications where oil management is a service concern, including systems with multiple compressors, oil separators, or extended refrigerant line sets where oil return must be managed carefully. The flare-end connections make this valve compatible with standard field-fabricated refrigerant line assemblies. It is catalogued under Sporlan refrigeration component oil filters and check valve product lines.

Key Features

• One-directional oil flow control prevents backflow in refrigeration oil circuits
• 3/8 inch MFL x FFL flare end connections for standard field installation
• Compact inline design suitable for tight equipment room installations
• OEM-quality construction consistent with Sporlan refrigeration valve standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service component for refrigeration systems requiring inline oil check valves with 3/8 inch male flare by female flare connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC-R technician following applicable mechanical codes and refrigerant handling regulations under EPA Section 608. Recover refrigerant and relieve system pressure before opening any refrigerant or oil circuit. Ensure flow direction arrow on the valve body is oriented correctly before brazing or flaring connections. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings appropriate for the refrigerant and oil type in service.
