Superior Hvacr 216-10 Packless Diaphragm Valve 5/8 Fl X Fl

Product Description

The SUPERIOR HVACR 216-10 is a packless diaphragm hand valve designed for refrigerant line service in HVAC and refrigeration systems. Packless construction eliminates the traditional packing gland, reducing the risk of refrigerant leakage at the stem seal over the service life of the valve. The straight flare-to-flare configuration connects 5/8-inch male flare fittings on both ends, making it a direct inline installation. HVAC technicians and refrigeration service pros use this style of valve for manual isolation of refrigerant circuits during service, evacuation, and charging procedures.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial refrigerant systems where a reliable manual shutoff or service valve is needed on a 5/8-inch flare line. Typical applications include suction line isolation, service port access, and refrigerant circuit segmentation on split systems, heat pumps, and refrigeration equipment. The straight body orientation keeps the installation compact where inline access is required.

Key Features

• Packless diaphragm design minimizes refrigerant leak paths at the stem
• Straight body configuration for direct inline flare-to-flare installation
• 5/8-inch male flare inlet and outlet connections
• Hand-operated valve suitable for manual refrigerant circuit isolation
• Compatible with standard refrigerant service procedures including evacuation and charging

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style service valve for use on 5/8-inch flare refrigerant lines in residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by an EPA 608-certified HVAC technician. Recover all refrigerant from the circuit before cutting or disconnecting any lines. Flare connections must be properly torqued to the fitting manufacturer specification using a backup wrench to avoid twisting the tubing. Leak-check all connections with an approved electronic detector or nitrogen pressure test after installation before recharging the system.
