Carrier KSATX0201PUR TXV Kit
The Carrier KSATX0201PUR TXV Kit is a critical OEM replacement part designed for Puron R-410A systems with a nominal capacity of 1.5 to 2.5 tons. This thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) features a balanced port hard shut-off design, ensuring precise refrigerant metering without bleed-through after system shutdown. Engineered to replace factory pistons in compatible Carrier, Bryant, and Payne fan coils and furnace coils, it maximizes evaporator efficiency and prevents compressor flooding. The kit includes a 3/8-inch female sweat inlet, a 5/8-inch male thread outlet, and a 3/8-inch female thread equalizer connection. For single-phase residential applications, the hard shut-off characteristic requires a start capacitor and relay to manage unequalized pressures during startup. This factory-authorized kit provides the necessary hardware—including bulb insulation, mounting straps, and a swivel flare adapter—to re-establish original equipment performance and SEER ratings in the field.
Key Benefits:- Precise Refrigerant Control: The balanced port design maintains optimal superheat across varying load conditions, protecting the compressor.
- Hard Shut-Off Design: Prevents refrigerant migration during the off-cycle, enhancing system efficiency upon restart.
- Wide Compatibility: Tailored for 1.5, 2, and 2.5-ton R-410A residential split systems and heat pumps.
- Complete Installation Kit: Includes the valve, copper bulb straps, insulation, and equalizer adapter for a professional-grade retrofit.
- Can this kit be used to convert an R-22 system? Yes, this kit is specifically designed to facilitate the conversion of R-22 fan coils or furnace coils to R-410A (Puron), provided the combination is rated by the manufacturer.
- Does this valve require a hard start kit? Because this is a hard shut-off TXV, it does not equalize pressure during the off-cycle. A start capacitor and relay (hard start kit) are required on all single-phase units to ensure reliable compressor starting.
- Where should the sensing bulb be mounted? The bulb must be mounted on a horizontal section of the suction line as close to the indoor coil as possible, typically at the 10 or 2 o'clock position, and must be thoroughly insulated with the provided material.
