Sporlan 4185-00 Solenoid Valve

The Sporlan 4185-00 is a heavy-duty, pilot-operated 1 1/8" ODF solenoid valve engineered for precision refrigerant flow control in high-capacity light commercial and industrial HVACR systems. Specifically identified as model R52E359M, this normally closed valve is a direct replacement for Parker R52E359M, featuring extended copper connections that allow for brazing installation without disassembly, effectively protecting internal synthetic seating materials from heat damage.

Designed for compatibility with high-pressure R410A systems, as well as common CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, the 4185-00 provides a high Maximum Operating Pressure Differential (MOPD) necessary for liquid, suction, or hot gas defrost applications. The unit utilizes MKC-1 or PKC-1 series coils (sold separately) and features a rugged construction with synthetic-coated metal gaskets to prevent external leaks. This solenoid valve is a critical component for technicians requiring reliable, tight-seating performance and long-term system integrity in demanding environments.

• Extended ODF Solder Connections: Facilitates rapid installation by allowing technicians to braze the 1-1/8" copper lines without tearing down the valve body.
• Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Fully rated for high-pressure R410A applications and compatible with R22, R134a, and other modern HFC blends.
• Robust Pilot-Operated Design: Ensures consistent opening and closing even under the high pressure drops typical of commercial suction and liquid lines.
• Interchangeable Coil Options: Compatible with standard AC and DC PKC-1 or MKC-1 coils for versatile field configurations.

Is the coil included with the Sporlan 4185-00?
No, this is a "less coil" valve body. You must purchase a compatible PKC-1 or MKC-1 coil separately based on your specific voltage requirements.

Can this valve be used on the suction line of a refrigeration rack?
Yes, the 1-1/8" port size and normally closed operation make it suitable for suction line applications where precise temperature control or defrost cycles are required.

Does the R52E359M require a manual lift stem?
The 4185-00 is a standard electronic solenoid. If manual override is required for system evacuation or service, ensure the specific model variant with a manual lift stem is selected or use a solenoid service magnet.
