Sporlan type G valves are forged brass body, externally adjustable valves with SAE flare connections. The thermostatic element is replaceable and the inlet connection has a removable 100 mesh strainer. This valve is designed for small refrigeration systems such as refrigerated cases, coolers, and freezers. In addition to refrigeration applications, the externally equalized type G valves may be used for small capacity air conditioning and heat pump units.
