The TXV responds to suction-line temperature and pressure to maintain proper superheat, protecting the compressor from liquid slugging while keeping the evaporator operating at peak efficiency. This valve is a direct OEM part sourced from Traulsen, a manufacturer known for commercial foodservice refrigeration equipment. Installation is typically performed by a licensed refrigeration technician or HVAC-R mechanic during a component replacement or system service call.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis TXV is designed for use in Traulsen commercial refrigeration equipment utilizing R-448A, a low-global-warming-potential HFC blend commonly used as a retrofit or factory charge in commercial reach-in and undercounter refrigeration units. R-448A operates at higher pressures than legacy refrigerants, and this valve is sized and rated specifically to match the flow characteristics required by that refrigerant in Traulsen systems. It is appropriate for foodservice environments including restaurants, institutional kitchens, and food retail operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Traulsen replacement part — direct factory fit for applicable models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for R-448A refrigerant, a low-GWP HFC blend used in commercial refrigeration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeters refrigerant flow to maintain proper evaporator superheat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects compressor from liquid refrigerant slugging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for commercial foodservice refrigeration duty cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM replacement TXV for Traulsen commercial refrigeration equipment charged with R-448A refrigerant.

Recover all refrigerant from the system before removing the existing valve — never vent refrigerant to atmosphere. After replacing the TXV, evacuate the system to the appropriate micron level before recharging with R-448A. Verify superheat settings after startup to confirm proper valve operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefrigerant\u003c\/strong\u003e: R-448A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: TRAULSEN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 325-60080-111\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TRAULSEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233941815602,"sku":"325-60080-111","price":133.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307616821.gif?v=1780112731","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/traulsen-325-60080-111-txv-thermostatic-expansion-valve-r-448a","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
