Sporlan 100412 Expansion Valve

The Sporlan 100412 is a professional-grade BFSE-A-ZP thermal expansion valve engineered for precision refrigerant metering in low-temperature refrigeration applications. Featuring a balanced port design, this 1-ton capacity expansion valve ensures consistent superheat control by neutralizing the influence of varying head pressures and evaporator conditions. The BFSE-A-ZP is a direct replacement for Sporlan 054981, allowing for a seamless drop-in installation during field service or system retrofits.

This externally equalized TXV utilizes a ZP thermostatic charge designed specifically for R404A, R502, and R408A systems. The hardware includes a 3/8" x 1/2" flare connection with an angle body configuration, a 30-inch capillary tube, and a 1/4" flare external equalizer. The brass bar stock body houses a 100-mesh removable strainer to protect the stainless steel pin and pushrod from debris. It provides reliable performance in supermarket cases, walk-in freezers, and industrial food storage units where precise 12,000 BTU/Hr capacity management is required.

• Universal Refrigerant Compatibility: Optimized for R404A systems while maintaining compatibility with legacy R502 and R408A refrigerants.
• Balanced Port Performance: Compensates for wide variations in operating conditions, preventing hunting and improving evaporator efficiency.
• Field Serviceable Construction: The brass body features accessible internal parts, allowing technicians to clean or inspect the 100-mesh strainer without removing the valve from the line.
• Direct OEM Replacement: Replaces the discontinued 054981 model with the exact 3/8" SAE inlet and 1/2" SAE outlet flare specifications.

Is the Sporlan 100412 compatible with modern R404A systems?
Yes, the Sporlan BFSE-A-ZP is the industry standard for R404A low-temperature applications and is commonly used in commercial refrigeration racks and cooler units.

What is the purpose of the ZP thermostatic charge on this valve?
The ZP charge is specifically calibrated for low-temperature applications to provide rapid response and prevent compressor floodback during startup.

Can I use this TXV to replace the older 054981 part number?
The 100412 is the approved replacement for the 054981. It maintains the same 1-ton capacity and physical configuration for easy field replacement.
