Heil Quaker ICP 1081726 TXV Valve

The Heil Quaker ICP 1081726 TXV Valve is a 1.5-ton non-bleed thermostatic expansion valve engineered for precise refrigerant metering in specialized R-22 and R-410A residential and light commercial evaporator coils. This OEM replacement TXV ensures constant superheat across a varying range of load conditions, preventing liquid slugging and protecting the compressor. Designed with a mechanical balance port, the ICP 1081726 extension valve maintains stable evaporator performance even during low-ambient operation. For contractors performing system repairs on Heil Quaker, Tempstar, or Comfortmaker air handlers, this bolt-on or sweat-in component provides accurate pressure-temperature regulation to restore factory-specified cooling capacity. Incorporating a non-bleed design, this valve is ideal for systems requiring tight off-cycle pressure retention. Verify the HVAC thermal expansion valve tonnage and refrigerant compatibility before installation to ensure optimal SEER ratings and heat transfer efficiency within the refrigeration circuit.

Key Benefits

• Optimized Superheat Control: Maintains precise refrigerant flow to maximize evaporator coil efficiency.
• Enhanced Compressor Protection: Prevents liquid floodback into the suction line, extending the service life of the motor.
• Non-Bleed Design: Maintains high-side and low-side pressure differentials during the off-cycle for faster cooling upon startup.
• Direct OEM Fitment: Reduces installation time and labor when servicing ICP-branded equipment.
• Variable Load Stability: Adjusts dynamically to varying heat loads for consistent indoor climate control.

Common Questions

Is this TXV compatible with both R-22 and R-410A systems?
The 1081726 is designed for specific ICP evaporator configurations. Always check the power head markings and the manufacturer’s technical service bulletin to confirm refrigerant and pressure interface compatibility.

Does this valve require an external equalizer line?
Yes, most ICP 1.5-ton expansion valves utilize an external equalizer to accurately sense the pressure at the evaporator outlet for precise superheat adjustment.

What are the symptoms of a failing 1081726 TXV?
Common indicators include high suction superheat, low suction pressure, or evaporator coil icing, often caused by a lost power element charge or internal debris restriction.
