Isolation Valves

Isolation Valves

The full port ball valve connects to copper refrigeration tubing by means of a permanent mechanical seal.

The valve is supplied with straight ends configuration, ETL listed for U.S. and Canada with an allowable working pressure of 700 PSIG per UL-207. The valve is compatible with all Group A1 refrigerants and all refrigeration oils. The valve is internally equalized ball design, full port, bi-directional flow, with PTFE rupture-proof encapsulated stem seals.

The fitting is ETL listed for U.S. and Canada with an allowable working pressure of 1500 PSIG per UL-207. The fitting is intended for use with C12200 Type L copper tube conforming to dimensions of ASTM B280. All tempers of copper tube may be used (O60, H55, H58). Fitting may also be used with C19400 copper alloy.

APPLICATION

High Pressure HVAC/R

MAX RATED PRESSURE

700 psi

COMPATIBLE TUBING

Seamless Copper Tubing, Drawn H58, Light Drawn H55, or Annealed O60 made to ASTM B280 and ASTM B75 Standard.

AGENCY APPROVAL

ETL Listed. Conforms to UL 207 STD. Certified to CSA STD C22.2#140.3 and directive 2014/68EU.

REFRIGERANTS

All CFC, HCFC, HFC, HFO, and class A2L refrigerants and refrigeration oils.

The product is not suitable for use with ammonia, methyl chloride, hazardous or flammable refrigerants from Group 2 or 3 per ASHRAE 15.

INSTALLATION

Installation The couplings are shipped loose for field installation on to the valve. The valve is supplied with line size couplings with special tube support adaptor inserts for the valve side (Black), standard inserts for the lineside (Clear/Silver), and a 3/4 inch thick insulation jacket.

The valve and fittings must be installed per both RCS and NDL, Inc. installation instructions by skilled installers, trained specifically in the application and installation of RCS fittings.

Contact RCS, Inc. for alternative tube support inserts when installing fittings on annealed copper coils or pre-insulated line sets with tube wall thicknesses less than specified by ASTM B280.
