Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 089058 Cage Assembly
The Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 089058 Cage Assembly, model X11873B5B, is a critical internal component engineered specifically for T-Series Take-Apart Thermostatic Expansion Valves (TXV). Designed for TJR valve type bodies, this cage assembly enables precise refrigerant metering and superheat control in high-capacity commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems. As a veteran-grade expansion valve replacement part, it features a versatile design compatible with multiple refrigerants, offering a nominal capacity of 18 tons for R-22 and R-407C, 13 tons for R-134a, and 12 tons for R-404A/R-502. The Alco X-11873-B5B cage is built to maintain system stability under varying load conditions, ensuring the evaporator remains properly fed without liquid slugging the compressor. For technicians performing TXV troubleshooting or retrofits, this assembly allows for field-serviceable repairs without removing the entire valve body from the line, significantly reducing downtime and labor costs.

Common Questions
What valves are compatible with the 089058 cage assembly?
This cage is specifically designed for use within the Alco T-Series take-apart valve bodies, particularly the TJR series. Always verify the valve body flange and power assembly match these specifications.
Can this cage be used for both refrigeration and air conditioning?
Yes, provided the refrigerant and tonnage requirements match your system’s design. It is frequently used in commercial HVAC systems and medium-to-low temperature refrigeration racks.
Does this assembly include the gaskets?
Typically, Alco cage assemblies are provided as the calibrated internal orifice component. It is standard professional practice to replace the body gaskets whenever the take-apart valve is opened to ensure a leak-free seal.
