Thermal Expansion Valves
HF/HFK Series
Options
• ODF or SAE connections
• Straight-through or angle ow congurations
• Removable inlet strainer (ODF only)
• Internal or external equalizer
Specifications
• Maximum working pressure: 450 psig
Features
• Stainless steel replaceable power element eliminates corrosion
and prevents valve failure
• Two body sizes provide capacities from 1/4 to 20 tons
NOTE: If the HF body is stamped HFK, then the cage is replaceable.
Standard Body – HF & HFK
• The HF is offered several ways:
– Pre-packaged HFK service kits – Include a mix of bodies
and power elements with a complete set of cages to
serve the most applications with a minimum of parts
– Individual components – Bodies, cages, & power
elements may be ordered separately
– Finished valves – Assembled valves ready for immediate
installation
• Bi-Flow capability up to 5-1/2 tons R-22 allows one valve to
control the superheat in both cooling and heating modes
