Trane VAL19560 Reversing Valve
When you're out in the field dealing with a heat pump stuck in cooling or heating mode, the Trane VAL19560 Reversing Valve is the specific 4-way component engineered to restore proper cycle operation. This unit features a 5/8 x 7/8 connection size (ODF) and is designed for seamless brazing into the refrigerant lines of existing Trane and American Standard systems. As the direct replacement for VAL8214, this valve ensures exact fitment and pressure ratings, allowing you to pull a vacuum and recharge the system without compatibility setbacks. This is a Reversing Valve without Coil, so you will need to reuse the existing solenoid or supply a compatible 24V coil to actuate the internal slide mechanism. Built to demanding OEM HVAC replacement parts standards, it handles high-pressure refrigerant flow with precise shifting, making it a reliable solution for residential and light commercial heat pumps.
Key Benefits for Contractors- Precision Refrigerant Control: Specifically engineered for heat pump reversing valve applications to manage flow direction reliably.
- Direct Drop-in Fit: Exact 5/8 x 7/8 ODF dimensions eliminate the need for significant piping modifications during a changeout.
- Legacy Compatibility: Officially documented as the Trane VAL19560 replacement for VAL8214, ensuring system logic match.
- High-Durability Construction: Fabricated to withstand the thermal stress and pressure fluctuations typical of 4-way reversing cycles.
Is the solenoid coil included with this valve?
No, the Trane VAL19560 is sold as the valve body only. You must ensure the reversing valve solenoid from the original unit is functional or purchase a new one separately.
Can I use this for brands other than Trane?
While the 5/8 x 7/8 sizing is common, this is an OEM Trane heating and cooling part. Always verify the cross-reference or capacity ratings before attempting to install it in a non-Trane/American Standard chassis.
What is the best way to prevent damage during installation?
When brazing this 4-way reversing valve, always wrap the valve body in wet rags or use a heat-sink gel. Overheating the internal slide or seals will cause the valve to stick or leak internally.
