The Rheem-Ruud 61-106238-41 TXV is a precision-engineered Thermostatic Expansion Valve designed for high-performance refrigerant metering in residential and light commercial cooling systems. This 2-ton R-22 expansion valve features a 1/2" x 1/2" connection size and a 30-inch capillary tube, ensuring optimal superheat control across varying evaporator loads. As the direct replacement for 61-21922-57, this valve is critical for maintaining system efficiency and preventing liquid slugging in older R-22 air conditioning units. For technicians performing retrofits or repairs, utilizing a genuine OEM Rheem-Ruud part ensures exact fitment and pressure ratings without the need for extensive line modifications. This HVAC expansion valve is built to handle the specific pressure-temperature relationship of R-22 refrigerant, providing stable modulation even during high ambient temperature conditions. Proper installation of this valve restores intended SEER performance and protects the compressor by maintaining consistent refrigerant flow through the coil.

Key Benefits
  • Precise Superheat Control: Maintains optimal refrigerant saturation to maximize heat transfer across the evaporator.
  • Direct OEM Compatibility: Engineered as a drop-in 61-106238-41 replacement for the legacy 61-21922-57 valve.
  • Internal Equalization: Designed specifically for R-22 systems requiring a 2-ton capacity rating.
  • Industrial Build Quality: Features a 30-inch capillary line for flexible positioning and vibration resistance.
Common Questions

Is this TXV compatible with R-410A systems?
No, the 61-106238-41 is strictly calibrated for the pressure-temperature characteristics of R-22 refrigerant. Using it with R-410A will lead to incorrect metering and potential system failure.

What are the connection sizes for this valve?
This valve features a 1/2 inch inlet and a 1/2 inch outlet, designed for standard solder connections in 2-ton cooling circuits.

Does this valve replace the 61-21922-57?
Yes, this is the official manufacturer-designated superseding part for the 61-21922-57, meeting or exceeding all original technical specifications.
