Sporlan 101706 Regulator

The Sporlan 101706 is a veteran-grade A8A 5/8" ODF Inlet Pressure Regulator designed for high-stakes commercial refrigeration and HVAC service. Featuring a 5/8" port size and a robust ductile iron body with brazed copper couplings, this Flo-Con A8 series regulator is engineered to maintain precise control over evaporator pressure, discharge, or defrost relief settings. Its dual-range spring provides technical flexibility, covering a wide adjustment range from 10" Hg to 400 psig, making it a versatile choice for both low-side and high-side applications.

For the field technician, the Sporlan A8A is built for longevity with stainless steel diaphragms that eliminate common bellows failure points. The pilot-operated design ensures tight modulation even under light loads, while the internally equalized configuration and access fitting simplify troubleshooting and pressure monitoring. With a maximum rated pressure of 450 psig and the ability to be sweat-in-place without disassembly, the 101706 regulator streamlines installation and maintenance on any supermarket rack or industrial cooling system.

• Precise Pressure Control: Pilot-operated mechanism provides consistent inlet pressure regulation regardless of ambient fluctuations.
• Durable Construction: Ductile iron body and stainless steel diaphragms offer superior resistance to mechanical wear and leaks.
• Wide Application Range: Dual-range spring accommodates settings from vacuum levels up to 400 psig.
• Serviceability: Designed for rapid disassembly and top-side inspection without removing the valve from the line.
• Installation Versatility: Suitable for 5/8" ODF sweat connections and can be mounted in horizontal or vertical piping.

What is the primary function of the A8A 101706?
As an inlet pressure regulator, it modulates open when the upstream pressure rises above the set point, commonly used for EPR or evaporator pressure regulation to prevent coil freeze-up.

Does this regulator require disassembly before soldering?
No, the brazed copper couplings allow for "sweat-in-place" installation, saving time during HVACR system repairs.

Can this be used with high-pressure refrigerants?
Yes, its 450 psig design pressure rating makes it compatible with most standard commercial refrigerants in appropriate temperature ranges.
