Sporlan Valve Company VAL01827 Expansion Valve

VAL01827 Expansion Valve is an OEM thermostatic expansion valve designed for Trane HVAC equipment, providing precise metering of liquid refrigerant to the evaporator to regulate superheat and optimize refrigerant flow. This valve features a 1-1/8 inch (1.125 in) body size and is specified for use with R-22 refrigerant, delivering a 20-ton capacity in typical Trane system configurations. As a genuine OEM Trane replacement part, VAL01827 is intended for direct installation in compatible Trane units, aligning with the standard Trane TEV family and offering a like-for-like replacement option for aging or failed valves. Common applications include medium- to large-capacity cooling systems that originally use R-22, where accurate expansion control is critical to maintaining evaporator performance, system efficiency, and stable subcooling across varying load conditions. When selecting a replacement, confirm the valve size, refrigerant, and mounting orientation to ensure a correct fit, as VAL01827 is a 1-1/8 in body with a 20-ton rating.
