  • $69.83


Ensure reliable isolation in your refrigeration or air conditioning system with the Superior Refrigeration 587WA-14ST Ball Valve. This 7/8" ODF ball valve is engineered for heavy-duty performance, featuring a forged brass body and robotically welded joint construction to eliminate common leak paths. Designed for universal compatibility, it supports CFC, HFC, and HCFC refrigerants, including high-pressure systems up to a 700 PSIG design working pressure. The full-port design guarantees unrestricted flow, while the dual PTFE ball seals and stem packing provide a robust secondary seal—critical for maintaining system integrity during compressor burnouts or evacuation. The 1/4-turn actuation with mechanical internal forged stops allows for precise control and positive shut-off in any orientation.

Key Benefits
  • Optimized Flow: Full port refrigeration valve design minimizes pressure drop and ensures maximum system efficiency.
  • Advanced Sealing: Features the Integra-Seal technology with PTFE gaskets and no synthetic O-rings to prevent refrigerant loss.
  • Durable Construction: Forged brass body with copper tube extensions for easy refrigeration sweat connections.
  • Operational Versatility: Non-directional flow allows for installation in any position across a wide temperature range of -40°F to +325°F.
  • Service Friendly: Seal cap design permits valve operation without cap removal, simplifying maintenance for field technicians.
Common Questions

Is the 587WA-14ST compatible with high-pressure refrigerants like R-410A?
Yes, with a rating of 700 PSIG, this valve is suitable for many high-pressure HFC applications. Always verify that your specific system operating pressure does not exceed the valve's technical limits.

Does this valve include an access fitting for charging?
No, the 587WA series is the standard version without an access fitting. If your application requires a Schrader port, the 587WAS series would be the appropriate alternative.

Can this valve be installed in any orientation?
Yes, these are non-directional flow valves, meaning they can be installed horizontally, vertically, or in any other position without affecting performance or shut-off capabilities.
