Emerson Alco 806759 Ball Valve
The Emerson Alco 806759 is a high-performance BVS118 refrigeration ball valve engineered for critical isolation in suction, discharge, and liquid line pipework. Designed as a direct replacement for 062118, this valve features a 1 1/8" ODF sweat connection and a robust forged brass body with a hermetic welded design to ensure zero-leak performance in high-pressure environments. With a 650 PSI maximum working pressure and a fluid temperature range spanning -40°F to 250°F, the BVS118 ball valve is fully compatible with R-410A, CO2, and HFC/HCFC refrigerants. The full port design minimizes pressure drop, while the integrated access valve allows for streamlined system charging and pressure monitoring without breaking the main circuit. The bi-directional flow capability and low operating friction ensure reliable manual shut-off during maintenance or emergency shutdowns, making it a staple for commercial refrigeration and HVACR systems.
Key Benefits:- Full Port Construction: Maximizes flow capacity and reduces turbulence to maintain system efficiency.
- High Pressure Rating: Rated for 650 PSIG, making it suitable for modern high-pressure refrigerants like R-410A.
- Service-Friendly Access: Includes a factory-installed access port with a retained cap to simplify diagnostics and charging.
- Hermetic Reliability: The forged brass and welded construction eliminate common leak points found in multi-piece valve bodies.
- Universal Application: Bi-directional flow characteristics allow for flexible installation in any orientation.
Is the 806759 compatible with R-410A systems?
Yes, this manual shut off refrigeration ball valve is specifically designed to handle the 650 PSI pressures typical of R-410A and is also compatible with CO2 (R-744) applications.
Can this valve replace the older 062118 model?
The 806759 is the official direct replacement for 062118, maintaining identical 1 1/8" ODF sizing and performance specifications for a seamless drop-in fit.
Does this valve require disassembly before brazing?
While the forged brass body is durable, it is critical to keep the valve in the fully open position and use a wet rag or heat sink to protect internal seals during ODF sweat installation.
