Mueller A17512 Valve
The Mueller A17512 Valve is a professional-grade 5/8" Valve 45 deg ODF kit designed for high-performance fluid control in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Engineered by Mueller Industries, this brass compressor valve features a double-port design with solder connections, ensuring a leak-proof seal and structural integrity under demanding thermal loads. Built for a Maximum Abnormal Pressure (MAP) of 700 psig and a continuous operating temperature range of -40°F to 300°F, this HVAC service valve provides the durability required for heavy-duty refrigeration valve replacement. The 45-degree angle configuration optimizes the flow path while minimizing pressure drop, a critical factor for maintaining system efficiency. This kit is a trusted solution for technicians seeking a Mueller refrigeration valve that is UL/cUL recognized and compatible with modern CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants. Use this kit to restore factory-spec performance to compressor valve assemblies during routine maintenance or emergency repairs.
Key Benefits:- High-Pressure Tolerance: Rated for up to 700 psig, making it suitable for high-pressure refrigerant applications.
- Precision Flow Control: The 45-degree ODF design reduces turbulence and ensures minimal pressure drop across the valve seat.
- Superior Material Build: Constructed from high-density forged brass with asbestos-free packing for long-term reliability in the field.
- Wide Compatibility: Designed for use with a broad range of oils and refrigerants, meeting strict industry standards for HVAC/R components.
Is this valve compatible with HFC refrigerants like R-410A?
Yes, the Mueller A17512 is engineered to withstand the higher pressures and temperatures associated with HFCs and is UL recognized for these applications.
Does this kit include the necessary components for a full replacement?
This is an ODF kit which includes the 5/8" valve and the double-port solder configurations required for standard compressor valve installations.
Can the valve packing be serviced if a leak develops?
The valve features high-quality, asbestos-free packing designed for longevity; however, for critical system integrity, it is a standard industry practice to replace the entire valve assembly if the internal seals are compromised.
