Mueller A14852 Packless Valve

  • $159.30


The Mueller A14852 Packless Valve is a professional-grade refrigeration diaphragm valve designed for critical liquid, suction, and discharge line applications. Featuring a 5/8" ODF solder connection, this backseating manual valve utilizes a stainless steel diaphragm to ensure a positive, leak-proof seal without the need for traditional stem packing. The forged brass body and rugged construction provide a maximum working pressure (MWP) of 700 PSIG, making it suitable for high-pressure refrigerants including R-410A. With a height of 3.38" and a length of 7.31", the Mueller packless valve offers a compact footprint for tight mechanical rooms while maintaining a high flow coefficient to minimize pressure drop across the circuit. This HVAC shut-off valve is engineered for temperature ranges of -40°F to 300°F, ensuring reliable refrigerant flow control and isolation during system maintenance or component replacement in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

Key Benefits for Technicians
  • Hermetic Seal: The multi-layer stainless steel diaphragm eliminates refrigerant loss common with standard packed valves.
  • Full Flow Design: Engineered to provide a low pressure drop and high CV rating for maximum system efficiency.
  • Field Reliability: Forged brass body provides superior strength and durability under extreme thermal cycling.
  • Universal Compatibility: Approved for use with all common CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants.
  • Service Ease: The backseating design allows for internal component inspection and maintenance while the valve remains under pressure.
