Sporlan 4183-00 Valve

The Sporlan 4183-00 is an industrial-grade R46E257M solenoid valve engineered for precision refrigerant flow control in high-capacity refrigeration and air conditioning systems. As a normally closed (NC) pilot-operated valve, it utilizes a 7/8" ODF sweat connection with extended copper ends, allowing for installation without the need for internal disassembly during the brazing process. This Parker-Sporlan solenoid valve is compatible with a broad range of refrigerants, including R-22, R-134a, R-404A, and R-410A, making it a versatile choice for liquid, suction, or discharge gas service.

Designed for demanding contractor environments, the 4183-00 features a rugged brass body and synthetic seating material to ensure a positive shut-off and minimize seat leakage. With a port size of 25/32" and a high Maximum Operating Pressure Differential (MOPD), this valve provides reliable performance even under high-load conditions. For optimal functionality and full opening, a minimum pressure drop of 1 PSI is required across the valve port. This unit is typically paired with MKC-2 or OMKC-2 series coils (sold separately) to meet various electrical requirements in the field.

• Extended ODF connections facilitate rapid brazing without the risk of damaging internal components or requiring valve disassembly.
• Synthetic coated metal gaskets provide a superior external seal, significantly reducing the potential for refrigerant leaks.
• Pilot-operated disc construction ensures high flow capacity and reliable operation in suction line service.
• Normally closed configuration provides failsafe refrigerant shut-off when the system is de-energized.
• Broad refrigerant compatibility allows for standard use across multiple HFC, HCFC, and CFC applications.

• Can this valve be mounted in any orientation? While flexible, it is recommended to mount the valve horizontally or on its side, with the coil housing no more than 45 degrees from the vertical to ensure proper plunger action.
• What is the minimum pressure differential required? To ensure the valve opens fully and prevents "chattering," a minimum 1 PSI pressure drop is necessary across the port.
• Does this include the solenoid coil? No, the Sporlan 4183-00 is the valve body assembly only; a compatible MKC-2 series coil must be sourced according to your system's voltage.
