Sporlan 168082 QC-6 White Cartridge

As an HVACR technician, you know that maintaining system precision is all about using the right components. The Sporlan 168082, also recognized in the field as the QC-6, is a high-performance white port cartridge specifically engineered for thermostatic expansion valves (TEV). This replacement cartridge is a critical service part for Type Q conventional port and Type BQ balanced port valve bodies, ensuring that your refrigeration or air conditioning system maintains its design capacity. With its color-coded white identification tag, this internal component allows for quick field verification, minimizing downtime during refrigeration system maintenance.

The Sporlan QC-6 white cartridge is optimized for a range of refrigerants, providing a nominal capacity of 5 tons for R-22, 2.5 tons for R-134a/R-401A, and 3 tons for R-404A/R-502. Its precision-machined brass construction and replaceable element design make it a staple for contractors handling commercial refrigeration and residential AC service. By swapping out the TEV orifice with this genuine Sporlan 168082, you restore the valve’s flow characteristics without needing to replace the entire valve body, saving significant material costs and labor time on the job site.

• Precise Capacity Matching: Specifically calibrated for 5-ton R-22 applications and 3-ton R-404A systems to ensure optimal superheat control.
• Streamlined Identification: Includes a white ID tag to clearly mark valve capacity after a cartridge swap, preventing future diagnostic errors.
• Broad Compatibility: Engineered for use with Sporlan Q and BQ series thermostatic expansion valves across multiple HVACR applications.
• Field Replaceable: Designed for rapid installation with a 4mm Allen wrench, allowing for efficient orifice resizing or debris clearance.

• Is the Sporlan 168082 compatible with balanced port valves? Yes, the QC-6 cartridge is compatible with both Q series conventional port bodies and BQ series balanced port bodies.
• Does this cartridge work with R-410A? While specifically rated for R-22, R-134a, and R-404A in standard charts, always verify the thermostatic charge of the power head to ensure total TXV system compatibility.
• Is the 168082 the same as the QC-6? Correct. These part numbers are identical and refer to the same white orifice cartridge assembly.
