Carrier KSATX0601HSO TXV Kit

When you're dealing with older R-22 systems that need a precision upgrade or a reliable repair, the Carrier KSATX0601HSO TXV Kit is the industry standard for 1.5 to 3.5-ton applications. As a veteran tech, you know that a fixed orifice or a failing metering device can kill system efficiency and risk compressor floodback. This hard shutoff thermostatic expansion valve is a balanced port, bi-flow design that provides superior superheat control across a wide range of operating conditions. Built with a durable metal composition and rated for a maximum working pressure of 600 PSI, this OEM Carrier replacement part ensures your split-system air conditioner or heat pump maintains optimal refrigerant flow. The kit is designed for sweat or braze connections, allowing for a secure, leak-free installation into the liquid line. By replacing a standard piston with this R-22 expansion valve kit, you gain the precise metering required to maximize evaporator coil performance and stabilize the cooling cycle even during high-load periods.

• Precise Refrigerant Metering: Optimized for 1.5 to 3.5-ton R-22 systems to maintain exact superheat levels.
• Hard Shutoff Design: Prevents refrigerant migration during the off-cycle, though it requires a hard start kit on single-phase units.
• High-Pressure Durability: Engineered to handle up to 600 PSI, ensuring reliability in demanding residential and light commercial environments.
• Broad Compatibility: Genuine OEM part for Carrier, Bryant, and Payne equipment, supporting both cooling-only and heat pump applications.
• Complete Installation Kit: Includes the balanced port valve and sensing bulb clamps for a professional-grade field retrofit.

• Can I use this valve on an R-410A system? No, this kit is specifically calibrated for R-22 refrigerant pressures and thermostatic properties. Always match your TXV to the system refrigerant.
• Does this kit require a hard start capacitor? Yes, because this is a hard shutoff valve with no bleed port, a start capacitor and relay are necessary for single-phase compressors to overcome unequalized pressures.
• What is the proper orientation for the sensing bulb? On suction lines under 7/8", mount the bulb at the 12 o'clock position; for larger lines, use the 4 or 8 o'clock position to ensure accurate temperature sensing of the vapor.
