Emerson Alco 806730 Ball Valve

The Emerson Alco 806730 is a high-performance 1/4" ODF sweat refrigeration ball valve engineered for critical isolation in HVACR systems. Operating as a direct replacement for the legacy 064383 model, this BVE-014 manual shut-off valve is designed for high-pressure applications with a 650 PSI maximum working pressure. The full-port design ensures minimal pressure drop and maximum flow capacity, making it essential for liquid, suction, and hot gas line service. Constructed with a forged brass body and extended copper connections, it allows for easy brazing without disassembly, protecting the internal seals from thermal damage. The chrome-plated ball and PTFE seats provide a leak-tight seal and low-torque operation, even in low-temperature environments. This valve is fully compatible with HCFC and HFC refrigerants, providing a robust solution for field technicians requiring high-cycle durability and reliable refrigerant flow control in commercial systems.

• Bi-directional flow capability allows for versatile installation in complex piping layouts.
• R-410A compatible pressure ratings ensure reliable performance in modern high-pressure systems.
• Integrated access port features a Schrader valve for pressure monitoring and charging.
• Rupture-proof stem design prevents seal failure under extreme thermal expansion.
• Full-port construction maintains system efficiency by eliminating turbulence and restrictive flow.

Common HVACR Questions

Is the Emerson BVE-014 compatible with subcritical CO2 systems?
While designed for standard HFC and HCFC refrigerants, always verify that the 650 PSI maximum pressure rating aligns with the specific requirements of your subcritical rack application.

Does this ball valve require disassembly before brazing?
No, the extended copper fittings are specifically engineered to dissipate heat, allowing for direct installation using standard brazing techniques without damaging internal PTFE gaskets.

Can this valve be mounted in any orientation?
Yes, the Emerson 806730 is designed for 360-degree installation versatility, though technicians should ensure the manual shut-off handle remains accessible for service.
