Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 077896 Cage Assembly

The Emerson Alco 077896 Cage Assembly, also identified as the X9117B6B, is a precision-engineered internal component designed specifically for TER series expansion valves. Engineered for high-capacity applications, this replacement cage assembly ensures accurate refrigerant metering across various fluids. It provides a nominal capacity of 22 tons for R22 and R407C, 16 tons for R134a, and 14 tons for R404A, R507, and R502 applications. For legacy systems, it supports R12 at a 13-ton rating. Transitioning to this HVAC expansion valve part allows for restored system efficiency and superheat control without the need to replace the entire valve body. The Alco X9117B6B cage features robust construction to withstand high pressure differentials and maintain consistent evaporator loading in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning circuits.

• Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Optimizes performance for R410A, R134a, R404A, and R22 systems.
• Drop-in Fit: Designed as an identical replacement for X-9117-B6B ensuring zero-clearance issues during installation.
• TER Valve Integration: Specifically calibrated for the TER, TIR, and TMR series valve bodies.
• High Nominal Capacity: Capable of managing up to 22 tons of heat transfer depending on the refrigerant type.
• Durable Internal Machining: Minimizes friction and prevents hunting to stabilize superheat levels.

How do I verify if the 077896 cage assembly is compatible with my TER valve?
Consistency is key; check the identification tag on your existing valve body. If the valve series is TER and the capacity requirements match the 22-ton (R22/R407C) rating, the X9117B6B is the correct internal replacement.

Can this cage assembly be used for R410A systems?
While originally rated for R22 and R407C, technical cross-references should be checked for specific pressure ratings, as this assembly is primarily optimized for the flows associated with 22-ton R22 systems.

Is the X9117B6B interchangeable with other Alco cage numbers?
No, cage assemblies are specific to the valve series and tonnage. Using an incorrectly sized cage will lead to improper refrigerant flow, evaporator flooding, or starving the coil.
