Tecumseh 56604 Valve
The Tecumseh 56604 Base Valve is a critical component for technicians performing service or installations on high-pressure refrigeration systems. This 3/8 sweat tin-plated base valve is engineered for a robust, leak-proof connection, featuring a tin-over-copper construction that facilitates superior solderability and corrosion resistance in harsh mechanical environments. Designed specifically for Tecumseh condensing units and compressors, it functions as a primary refrigeration service valve, allowing for precise isolation of the system during charging or evacuation processes. The 3/8 inch ODF connection ensures high-flow capacity with minimal pressure drop, maintaining system efficiency. Whether you are performing a compressor replacement or a field repair, the 56604 provides a dependable HVAC service port compatible with standard manifold gauges and charging hoses. Its forged brass body is built to withstand high torque and thermal cycles, ensuring long-term reliability in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications.
- Enhanced Solder Flow: The tin-plated sweat connection ensures a clean, reliable joint with standard brazing alloys.
- OEM Compatibility: Precision-machined to meet Tecumseh 56604 specifications for a seamless fit on compatible baseplates.
- System Isolation: Provides a secure shut-off point to facilitate safe refrigerant recovery and HVAC system maintenance.
- Durable Construction: High-grade forged materials prevent fatigue and cracking under high-vibration conditions common in refrigeration applications.
Common Technical Questions
What is the maximum operating pressure for this valve?
The valve is designed to handle high-pressure refrigerants common in Tecumseh systems, typically rated for standard commercial refrigeration pressures up to 450 PSI depending on the temperature application.
Is this valve compatible with R-410A systems?
Yes, provided the system utilizes 3/8 ODF connections and the pressure ratings of the specific condensing unit match the valve’s mechanical specifications.
Why is the tin plating important?
The tin plating prevents oxidation during storage and improves the wetting action of the braze material, ensuring a leak-free seal without excessive heating of the valve body.
