Superior Refrigeration 592WA-13ST Ball Valve
The Superior Refrigeration 592WA-13ST Ball Valve is a professional-grade 1-3/8" ODF refrigerant shutoff valve engineered for high-pressure commercial HVACR applications. Built with a heavy-duty forged brass body and 100% copper tube extensions, this full port ball valve ensures unrestricted flow for suction, discharge, and liquid lines. Featuring the proprietary Integra-Seal design, it eliminates synthetic O-rings, utilizing a dual PTFE stem seal and robotically welded body joints to provide 100% leak-free reliability. This non-directional ball valve is rated for a design working pressure of 700 to 800 PSIG and operates within a temperature range of -40°F to +325°F, making it fully compatible with R410A, R134a, R404A, and CO2 (subcritical) systems. The polished brass ball and 1/4 turn actuation allow for smooth bi-directional flow control even after compressor burnouts. Designed for sweat ODF installation, this valve provides a secondary seal through its unique seal cap, ensuring the system remains hermetically tight during maintenance or extended operation.
Key Benefits:- Full Port Construction: Minimizes pressure drop across the 1-3/8" ODF connection for maximum system efficiency.
- Integra-Seal Technology: Features robotically welded joints and dual PTFE seals for superior leak protection without degradable O-rings.
- High Pressure Performance: Rated up to 800 PSIG to handle modern high-pressure HFC and HCFC refrigerants.
- Field Accessibility: The 1/4 turn handle with mechanical internal stops provides positive toggle positioning for rapid isolation.
- Hermetic Design: Includes a forged brass seal cap with a secondary PTFE gasket for triple-seal protection.
Is this ball valve bi-directional?
Yes, the 592WA-13ST is a non-directional flow valve, meaning it can be installed in any orientation within the refrigerant line without affecting performance.
What refrigerants are compatible with this valve?
It is compatible with all common CFC, HFC, and HCFC refrigerants, including R-22, R-134a, R-404A, R-407C, R-410A, and subcritical CO2 applications.
Do I need to remove the seal cap to operate the valve?
The Superior Integra-Seal design allows for valve operation without removing the seal cap, though the handle is accessed under the cap for final set-and-forget isolation.
