Ranco V1-408060-170 Reversing Valve

The Ranco V1-408060-170 Reversing Valve is a technical essential for technicians servicing residential and light commercial heat pump systems, including window units, unitary, and split systems. This 4-way reversing valve operates under the full pressure of the heat pump system, utilizing a 4-way pilot valve to provide positive reversals even at low pressure differentials. Engineered for precision, it features a 1/2" suction connection and a 3/8" discharge connection, ensuring a professional fit for systems using R22 or R410A refrigerants. With a nominal capacity of 1 ton, its performance ranges from 0.4 to 1.7 tons depending on the refrigerant and high-side pressure transition. The hermetic construction uses high-grade brass and copper to eliminate external leakage, while Teflon-lubricated sliding surfaces reduce internal friction for high contaminant resistance. This valve is designed for minimal pressure drop, directly supporting higher system SEER ratings by optimizing refrigerant flow direction during cooling, heating, and defrost cycles.

• Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Fully optimized for use with R410A and R22 systems, providing flexibility for legacy repairs and modern installations.
• Positive Shift Performance: Features a slide-type mechanism with a 4-way pilot valve that ensures reliable shifting under varying pressure loads.
• Durable Hermetic Build: Constructed with copper tube and a brass body to prevent high-pressure leaks in harsh HVAC environments.
• High Efficiency Design: Engineered to minimize pressure drop, which is critical for maintaining professional-grade system efficiency.
• Reduced Friction: Teflon lubricated internal surfaces protect against debris and minimize wear over long-term operation.

What is the ton capacity for this valve on R410A?
The V1-408060-170 carries a nominal capacity of 1 ton but is technically rated to handle 0.5 to 1.7 tons specifically for R410A refrigerant applications.

Does this unit include the solenoid coil?
No, this is the valve body and pilot assembly only. A matching Ranco LDK series solenoid coil (typically 24V, 120V, or 240V depending on the air handler/condenser control) must be sourced separately.

Can I use this for both heating and cooling cycles?
Yes, this heat pump reversing valve is specifically designed to manage the flow direction, enabling the system to switch between heating, cooling, and the essential outdoor coil defrost mode.
