Heil Quaker ICP 1082856 TXV Valve

As a seasoned technician, you know that a failing metering device can lead to a literal "freeze-up" of your job schedule. The Heil Quaker ICP 1082856 TXV Valve is a genuine 5 Ton OEM replacement designed to restore precise refrigerant regulation in high-capacity residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This thermostatic expansion valve is engineered specifically for R-22 and R-407C applications, ensuring the evaporator is fed correctly without risking liquid slugging back to the compressor. Its non-bleed design is critical for maintaining high system efficiency and preventing migration during the off-cycle, especially in 5-ton split systems and heat pumps. When you are dealing with fluctuating superheat or restricted flow, swapping in this ICP 1082856 5-ton valve ensures the sensing bulb provides the accurate feedback needed for stable cooling performance. Avoid the headache of generic "multi-fit" parts; this Heil Quaker replacement valve is the exact spec required for International Comfort Products equipment, including brands like Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire.

• Precise Superheat Control: Automatically adjusts refrigerant flow based on heat load to maximize evaporator coil efficiency.
• Direct OEM Compatibility: Fits a wide range of ICP 5-ton condensing units and air handlers, including the FCX6000 and EXD60 series.
• Non-Bleed Performance: Maintains a tight seal during the off-cycle to improve SEER ratings and protect the compressor.
• Robust Build Quality: High-grade brass construction and durable sensing bulb capillary designed to withstand the vibrations of a 60,000 BTU system.

• How do I know if this TXV is restricted? Look for low suction pressure combined with high superheat at the evaporator outlet. If you see frost forming directly on the valve body or the inlet screen, it is a clear indicator of a restriction.
• Can this be used with R-410A systems? No, this specific part number is calibrated for R-22 and R-407C pressure-temperature characteristics. Using it with R-410A will lead to improper metering and potential system damage.
• What is the best practice for installation? Always wrap the valve body with a wet rag during brazing to prevent internal component damage and ensure the sensing bulb is securely strapped to a horizontal section of the suction line at the 4 or 8 o’clock position.
