    Expansion valve



    Does someone know which brand this valve is?
    I thought a Flica or an Egelhof.
    On the valve is stamped AO - TA6 - and R12
    Picture is mobile phone quality

    It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

    Additional questions.
    1: does someone know the capacity of this valve at -10°C(14°F) and 35°C (95°F) condensing on R12?

    2: Does someone know of a valve straight in/straight out (1/2 in and 5/8 out)

    Capacity must be something around 13 kW (44357 BTU/hr/3.696 TR) because it's connected to a Bitzer 4TC-8.2Y
