Ranco V2-408060-170 Reversing Valve
The Ranco V2-408060-170 Reversing Valve is a 4-way solenoid-operated slide valve engineered for high-performance heat pump changeover in residential and light commercial systems. This specified model features a 1/2" suction connection and a 3/8" discharge connection, designed for straight-tube Style A configurations. Serving as a direct replacement for 061L121300, it supports a wide range of refrigerants including R22 (0.45 to 2.0 tons) and R410A (0.9 to 2.2 tons). Built with a hermetically sealed brass body and copper tube ends, this HVAC reversing valve facilitates efficient flow reversal between heating and cooling cycles with minimal pressure drop. Note that this unit requires a compatible LDK series solenoid coil for operation, as it utilizes a 4-way pilot valve to drive the PTFE-lubricated main slide. For successful brazing, ensure proper heat sinking to protect the internal seals and verify tonnage compatibility against existing system specs before installation.
Key Benefits- Universal Compatibility: Fully optimized for use in R22 and R410A heat pump systems, providing a versatile solution for varying system pressures.
- Direct OEM Replacement: Replaces the 061L121300 reversing valve, ensuring dimensional and performance matching for legacy equipment repairs.
- High Cycle Reliability: Features a PTFE-lubricated slide mechanism to reduce internal friction and resist contaminant buildup during heat pump operation.
- Optimized Efficiency: Designed for minimal pressure drop, which maximizes system COP and reduces strain on the compressor.
- Robust Construction: The hermetically sealed brass housing and copper connections allow for a leak-resistant, high-durability installation in unitary or split systems.
What tonnage systems is the Ranco V2-408060-170 compatible with?
This valve is rated for a nominal 1-ton capacity but supports a functional range of 0.45 to 2.0 tons for R22 and 0.9 to 2.2 tons for R410A applications.
Does this reversing valve include the solenoid coil?
No, the solenoid coil is not included. You must pair this valve with a modern Ranco LDK series coil (check voltage requirements for your specific 24V or 120V application).
Can this be used with flared or sweat connections?
This specific model is designed for 1/2" x 3/8" sweat (socket weld) connections using copper tubing. Ensure you verify the flare vs. flare requirements mentioned in your original equipment specs before brazing.

Ask a Question-
Is there a 12 V coil that goes with that bow by chance?
We will need the model and serial numbers off the unit to check. Thanks
