Common Questions:

Is the ICP 1185863 compatible with older R-22 units?
While primarily used in modern 13+ SEER R-410A systems, compatibility depends on the specific line-set diameter and thread pitch. Always verify the model number of the outdoor unit before installation.

Can I use this valve to replace the 1172727 without brazing?
No, this is a sweat-connection component. Proper brazing techniques using an oxy-acetylene torch and appropriate filler rod are required for a leak-free suction line connection.

Does this valve include the internal schrader core and cap?
Yes, this OEM assembly typically includes the valve body, internal core, and protective flare cap to ensure immediate field readiness.
