Trane VAL2824 TXV

The Trane VAL2824 TXV is a high-performance 15-ton thermostatic expansion valve engineered for critical refrigerant metering in light commercial R22 systems. This OEM Trane expansion valve features a 7/8" x 1-1/8" ODF solder connection and is equipped with a 60-inch capillary tube to ensure precise superheat control and compressor protection across varying load conditions. As a direct S1-526-36280-000 cross-reference, this R22 TXV provides exact fitment and reliable performance for existing Trane/American Standard air handlers and rooftop units. Its mechanical design responds dynamically to evaporator temperatures, optimizing the refrigeration cycle and maintaining system efficiency without the need for additional electronic controllers.

Key Benefits:

• Precise Refrigerant Metering: Designed specifically for 15-ton R22 systems to maintain optimal superheat and prevent liquid slugging.
• Drop-in Compatibility: Identical to S1-526-36280-000, ensuring a straightforward retrofit for veteran contractors in the field.
• Extended Reach: The 60" capillary tube provides the necessary length for versatile sensing bulb placement on suction lines.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to Trane OEM specifications, making it a rugged alternative to universal valves in high-capacity applications.

Common Questions:

Is the VAL2824 compatible with R410A systems?
No, the Trane VAL2824 TXV is strictly calibrated for R22 refrigerant applications. Installing this valve in an R410A system will cause improper metering and potential component failure due to pressure rating differences.

What are the connection sizes for this expansion valve?
This 15-ton expansion valve features a 7/8" inlet and a 1-1/8" outlet, designed for high-flow solder connections in commercial HVACR environments.

Does this valve replace the York S1-526-36280-000?
Yes, the VAL2824 is the confirmed Trane equivalent to part S1-526-36280-000, meeting all technical requirements for that specific 15-ton metering device.
