Danfoss 009L8068 Ball Valve

The Danfoss 009L8068 is a professional-grade GBC 42s ball valve designed for bi-directional flow in high-capacity refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Featuring a 1 5/8" ODF solder connection, this valve is the direct high-performance replacement for the legacy 009G7058 model. It is engineered with a full-port construction to ensure maximum flow with minimal pressure drop, making it an essential component for liquid, suction, and hot gas lines. The integrated Schrader access port allows for simplified pressure monitoring and system charging without breaking the primary line. Built with a rupture-proof spindle and a specialized Teflon valve seat, it provides a leak-tight seal even under extreme thermal cycling. The quarter-turn operation and top-mounted ball status indicator allow technicians to verify the valve position at a glance. Compatible with all major fluorinated refrigerants and CO2, this manual shut-off valve is rated for a maximum working pressure of 650 psig (45 bar).

Key Benefits

• Direct Replacement: Seamlessly replaces the discontinued Danfoss 009G7058 and 009L7058 models with no piping modifications required.
• Enhanced Safety: The rupture-proof spindle design prevents internally trapped pressure from compromising the stem seal.
• Precise Control: A double O-ring stem seal and 1/4 turn rotation ensure a reliable, leak-free shut-off and easy handling in tight mechanical spaces.
• System Versatility: Approved for use in chillers, heat pumps, and transport refrigeration across a wide temperature range (-40°F to 212°F).
• Built-in Access: The 1/4" SAE access port facilitates standard service procedures and system diagnostics.

Common Questions

Yes, the bi-directional flow design allows the valve to be installed in any direction without affecting performance or flow capacity.

This valve is rated for all CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, including R410A, R404A, and R134a, as well as subcritical CO2 applications.

The one-piece cap includes a wire seal to prevent unauthorized tampering or accidental removal during high-vibration operation.
