Superior 586WA-10ST Ball Valve

For mid-range refrigeration and liquid line applications, the Superior 586WA-10ST 5/8 ODF Ball Valve provides a robust shut-off solution engineered to withstand heavy-duty cycling. This full-port refrigeration ball valve features a forged brass body and robotically welded joint construction, ensuring a leak-proof hermetic seal under high-pressure HVACR conditions up to 700 PSIG. Designed with non-directional flow capabilities, it allows for versatile installation in any orientation without sacrificing low pressure drop performance. The Integra-Seal technology utilizes dual PTFE ball seals and a nested stem design to prevent refrigerant loss even during compressor burnout or high-contamination scenarios. With it's 1/4 turn actuation and internal mechanical stops, technicians get positive tactile feedback for open and closed positions, making it an essential component for system isolation and maintenance.

• Full flow design eliminates turbulence and restriction, maintaining peak system efficiency.
• Forged brass construction with extended copper leads facilitates easy brazing into 5/8" ODS lines.
• Double stem seals and a secondary seal cap gasket provide triple-layer protection against atmospheric leaks.
• Bi-directional flow capability simplifies piping layout and reduces installation time in the field.
• Compatible with all CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, including high-pressure R-410A and POE/PAG oils.

Is a torch shield required during installation?
Standard brazing practices apply, but because of the PTFE seals and internal gaskets, it is professional practice to wrap the valve body with a wet rag or use a heat-sink paste to prevent thermal damage to the internal seats.

Can the valve be operated without removing the seal cap?
Yes, the Superior WA series features a unique cap design that allows for stem adjustment while the cap is still attached, provided the top of the cap is clear for wrench access.

Does this valve include an access port?
No, the 586WA-10ST is a standard shut-off valve without a Schrader access fitting. For applications requiring a service port, the WAS series equivalent should be used.
