Sporlan 180060 KT-43-SZP Power Element

Replacing a compromised power element is critical for maintaining evaporator efficiency, and the Sporlan 180060 (also identified as the KT-43-SZP) is the industry standard for low-temperature applications. This Type 43 power element features a 5-foot capillary tube, providing the necessary reach for secure bulb mounting on the suction line. Specifically engineered with a ZP thermostatic charge, this component is designed for systems operating between 0°F and -40°F, utilizing refrigerants such as R-404A, R-507, or R-408A. The ZP charge provides a Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) of 35 psig, which is essential for protecting the compressor motor from overloading during high-load start-ups or defrost cycles. Built with the high-grade materials characteristic of Sporlan valve components, the KT-43-SZP power element ensures rapid response to load changes, preventing liquid floodback and maintaining precise superheat control. For contractors servicing commercial walk-ins or industrial freezers, this OEM replacement power element is the correct drop-in solution for 43-style thermostatic expansion valves.

• Precise Superheat Regulation: The ZP thermostatic charge provides stable refrigerant metering across low-temperature ranges (0°F to -40°F).
• Compressor Protection: Integrated 35 psig MOP prevents motor overload by limiting suction pressure during pull-down.
• Extended Reach: Includes a 5-foot capillary tube for flexible and secure sensing bulb placement.
• Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Designed for use with R-404A, R-507, R-402A, and R-408A systems.
• Field Reliability: Durable metal construction withstands the vibration and thermal cycling common in commercial refrigeration.

• Is the 180060 compatible with R-448A/R-449A? While specifically designed for R-404A, always reference the Sporlan pressure-temperature charts for the ZP charge to verify specific superheat response with retrofit blends.
• Can I use a ZP charge to replace a standard Z charge? The ZP charge includes a pressure limit (MOP). It should be used when compressor protection is required; verify system requirements before swapping from a non-MOP element.
• Does this include the bulb clamps? This item is the power element and capillary assembly; typically, bulb clamps are reused or sourced separately for mounting.
