Dometic Refrigerant Valve with Equalizer Tube - Part# 290337289
The Dometic refrigerant valve with equalizer tube is a critical component in RV air conditioning systems that regulates refrigerant flow and pressure between the compressor and evaporator. If your Dometic AC unit is running inefficiently, cycling on and off frequently, or not cooling properly, a faulty expansion valve is often the culprit. This OEM replacement valve restores proper refrigerant metering and system balance.
Key Features
- Factory-engineered equalizer tube design for precise pressure regulation
- Direct OEM replacement for Dometic RV air conditioning units
- Maintains optimal refrigerant flow under varying load conditions
- Prevents compressor short-cycling and thermal overload
- Brass construction for durability and corrosion resistance
- Compatible with R-134a refrigerant systems
