Rheem-Ruud 61-22465-17 TXV
The Rheem-Ruud 61-22465-17 is a precision-engineered 4-ton thermostatic expansion valve designed specifically for R-22 refrigerant systems. Engineered to maintain a constant superheat at the evaporator outlet, this TXV valve features a 1/2" x 1/2" ODF solder connection and a 30-inch capillary tube for flexible sensing bulb placement. This specific model utilizes a balanced port design to compensate for varying head pressures, ensuring optimal refrigerant flow control across a wide range of operating conditions. For technicians performing a Rheem AC parts replacement, this valve is essential for restoring system efficiency and preventing liquid slugging in older R-22 air conditioning units. The robust construction and internal check valve functionality make it a reliable choice for maintaining the thermal expansion requirements of high-capacity residential and light commercial evaporators.
Key Technical Benefits:
- Optimized Superheat Control: Maintains precise evaporator loading to prevent compressor damage and improve HVAC system efficiency.
- Durable Construction: High-grade materials resist corrosion and handle the pressure demands of 4-ton HVAC systems.
- Internal Equalization: Simplifies installation by eliminating the need for an external equalizer line in compatible evaporator coils.
- Direct Replacement: Fits specific Rheem and Ruud air handler and coil configurations without extensive piping modifications.
Common Installation Questions:
What are the connection sizes for the 61-22465-17?
This valve features 1/2-inch inlet and outlet solder connections, designed for standard refrigerant piping brazing techniques.
Can this TXV be used with R-410A?
No, this component is calibrated specifically for R-22 refrigerant operating pressures and thermophysical properties. Using it with R-410A will result in incorrect metering and potential system failure.
Why is the 30-inch capillary length important?
The extended capillary tube provides the necessary reach to secure the sensing bulb at the 10 or 2 o'clock position on the suction line, even in tight evaporator coil cabinets.
