Rheem-Ruud 61-101160-13 Valve

The Rheem-Ruud 61-101160-13 is a professional-grade 3/8" Sweat ODF liquid service valve engineered for high-pressure HVACR applications. Rated for up to 600 PSIG, this component is built to handle both R-22 and R-410A refrigerants, providing a secure, leak-free isolation point for system maintenance. For technicians performing retrofits or repairs, the 61-101160-13 serves as the direct cross version of 61-21368-13, ensuring seamless mechanical compatibility with existing liquid line configurations. The valve features a durable brass body and solid copper fittings to maintain structural integrity under thermal cycling. Its front-seating design allows contractors to isolate sections of the refrigeration circuit for charging or evacuation without a full system pump-down. With an overall length of 4-5/8 inches and a 1/4" male flare SAE charge port, this OEM Rheem service valve provides the precise flow control and accessibility required in demanding commercial and residential environments.

• Maximum Pressure Rating: Tested up to 600# to ensure safety and reliability in high-pressure R-410A liquid lines.
• Precise Fitment: Designed with 3/8 inch Sweat ODF connections for standard brazed installations in Rheem and Ruud HVAC units.
• Service Accessibility: Includes an integrated 1/4" access port for efficient manifold gauge connection during diagnostics.
• OEM Durability: Constructed with corrosion-resistant brass and high-purity copper to prevent refrigerant leaks at critical junction points.

Is the 61-101160-13 a direct replacement for the 61-21368-13?
Yes, this model is the official 61-21368-13 replacement. It maintains the same 3/8" ODF footprint and 600 PSI rating for a drop-in installation.

What refrigerants are compatible with this liquid service valve?
This valve is designed for use in modern refrigerant line sets, supporting both R-410A and older R-22 charge specifications.

Does this valve require specific brazing techniques?
Standard HVAC brazing practices apply. However, technicians should use a wet rag or heat-sink paste on the valve body during the sweat ODF installation to protect internal seals from excessive heat.
