Sporlan 180507 KT-53-VZ Element Kit

The Sporlan 180507 KT-53-VZ Element Kit is a professional-grade replacement power element designed for technicians servicing low-temperature refrigeration systems. Featuring a 60-inch capillary tube, this Type 53 element is specifically engineered with a "Z" thermostatic charge, making it the industry standard for R-22, R-407A, and R-422D applications where precise superheat control is required between 0°F and -40°F. The kit includes the stainless steel thermostatic element, bulb clamps, and necessary hardware for a complete field replacement on Sporlan G, EG, MC, EMC, and X series Thermostatic Expansion Valves (TEVs).

Built with a large, flat stainless steel diaphragm, this power element ensures high sensitivity to temperature changes at the sensing bulb, maintaining stable system operation and protecting the compressor from liquid slugging. The 5-foot capillary length provides the reach needed for proper bulb placement on larger evaporator suction lines. For contractors managing HVACR maintenance, keeping this genuine Sporlan 180507 kit in stock minimizes downtime during critical low-temp system failures where TXV element replacement is required to restore proper refrigerant flow and evaporator efficiency.

• Precise Low-Temp Control: Optimized with the Z charge for stable superheat management in freezing and low-ambient environments.
• Broad Compatibility: Directly replaces elements on a wide range of Sporlan valve bodies including Type G and Type EG.
• Durable Construction: Features a welded stainless steel diaphragm for long-term resistance against corrosion and vibration fatigue.
• Extended Reach: Includes a 60" capillary tube to facilitate ideal bulb positioning on suction lines.
• Complete Kit: Ships with the sensing bulb clamps and hardware required for a professional field replacement.

• Can this element be used for high-temperature air conditioning? No, the KT-53-VZ is specifically calibrated with a Z charge for low-temperature refrigeration. Using it in high-temp applications will result in poor superheat control and potential system instability.
• What refrigerants is this kit compatible with? It is designed for R-22, but is also commonly used in retrofitted systems running R-407A or R-422D that require low-temp performance.
• Does this include the valve body? No, the 180507 is a replacement power element kit only. It is intended to be installed on your existing valve body.
