Description

The Sporlan Type R balanced port thermostatic expansion valve has a brass bar stock body. The R valve has SAE flare connections in a variety of common sizes, and the valve is equipped with a 100 mesh inlet strainer integral to the fitting. There is also an option for a 15% bleed port, if required. It is available with adjustable superheat, a long lasting replaceable power element, and accessible internal parts. Each valve is factory tested to ensure positive leak-free performance. The balanced port design provides perfect pin and port alignment and prevents pressure drop across the valve from influencing valve operation.
