White-rodgers 81014 Bvss Refrigeration Ball Valve 3/8 in Odf

Product Description

The WHITE-RODGERS 81014 is a BVSS Series welded refrigeration ball valve designed for use in refrigerant line service applications. It features 3/8-inch ODF sweat connections and includes an integrated access valve port for system service and pressure testing without breaking the refrigerant circuit. A brass locking seal cap protects the access port from contamination and accidental actuation. Rated for use with R-410A refrigerant, this valve suits residential and light commercial HVAC-R systems where reliable shut-off and service access are required. Licensed HVAC technicians are the primary installers.

This valve is applied in split-system air conditioning and heat pump refrigerant line sets, typically installed at the service valve position on suction or liquid lines. The 3/8-inch ODF connection size is common on smaller residential split systems. The built-in access valve eliminates the need for a separate Schrader fitting at this location, reducing overall leak points in the refrigerant circuit. The BVSS Series construction is suited for both new installations and retrofit service work on R-410A systems.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch ODF sweat connections for direct copper line integration
• Integrated access valve port allows refrigerant system service without line disconnection
• Brass locking seal cap protects access port and resists tampering
• Compatible with R-410A refrigerant
• BVSS Series welded ball valve construction for secure, leak-resistant connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for residential and light commercial refrigerant systems using 3/8-inch ODF copper line connections and R-410A refrigerant.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by an EPA Section 608-certified HVAC technician. Recover all system refrigerant and relieve system pressure before cutting or soldering refrigerant lines. Use nitrogen purge during brazing to prevent oxidation scale inside the valve body. After installation, leak-check all connections with an electronic leak detector or approved leak-detection solution before recharging the system.
