Description
28–42mm Refrigerant Solder Tube Solenoid Valve – RSG 216-DN25-LR
The RSG 216-DN25-LR is a high-flow 2/2 way refrigerant solenoid valve with integral copper solder tubes, designed for larger commercial and industrial refrigeration, heat pump and cooling systems.
Available with 28mm, 35mm, 42mm, 1⅛" or 1⅜" OD copper tube connections, the valve combines an 18mm flow orifice with a Kv up to 13 m³/h and an operating pressure range of 0.5 to 30 Bar.
Normally closed operation is standard, with a normally open version available.
Valve Function & Operation
Function: 2/2 Way Normally Closed
Option: Normally Open
Operation: Pressure Assisted Piston
Nominal Size: DN25
Orifice: 18mm
Minimum Differential Pressure: 0.5 Bar
Maximum Operating Pressure: 30 Bar
Burst Pressure: 180 Bar
The pressure-assisted piston design provides high refrigerant flow through the 18mm orifice while retaining relatively low solenoid power consumption.
Copper Solder Tube Connections
Available OD copper tube connections:
✓ 28mm
✓ 35mm
✓ 42mm
✓ 1⅛"
✓ 1⅜"
The copper tubes are furnace soldered into the brass valve body using silver solder at approximately 680–700°C.
This provides a robust factory-manufactured connection between the brass valve body and copper tube, ready for integration into refrigeration pipework.
Orifice & Flow Capacity
Orifice: 18mm
Kv Flow Factor: 12 or 13 m³/h
The actual flow capacity depends upon the selected tube connection.
Kv is based on water with a pressure differential of 1 Bar.
With flow capacity up to 13 m³/h, the DN25-LR is designed for substantially larger refrigerant lines than the DN5, DN12 and DN18 versions in the 216 range.
Refrigerant Compatibility
Suitable for compatible refrigerants including:
✓ R23
✓ R134A
✓ R407C
✓ R410A
✓ R507
✓ R513
✓ R1234yf
✓ R1224yd
✓ R1234ze
✓ R449A
✓ R469A
The valve may also be considered for other compatible gases, oils and fluids below 40 cSt, subject to compatibility with the materials of construction and operating conditions.
The valve must not be operated dry without media.
Construction & Materials
Body: Brass
Optional Body: AISI 303 Stainless Steel
Internals: Stainless Steel
Connections: Copper Solder Tube
Standard Seal: EPDM
Optional Seals:
✓ NBR
✓ FKM
✓ CR
Standard Seat: PTFE
Optional Seats:
✓ FKM
✓ CR
Alternative seal and seat configurations allow the valve to be selected according to the refrigerant, lubricant and required operating conditions.
Temperature Range
Media Temperature:
-40°C to +150°C
Ambient Temperature:
-40°C to +70°C
This broad temperature capability makes the DN25-LR suitable for demanding refrigeration and heat-pump systems operating across widely varying refrigerant temperatures.
Actual operating limits should be considered together with the selected refrigerant, lubricant, seals, seat and coil configuration.
System 15/40 Solenoid Coil
The DN25-LR uses the System 15/40 solenoid operator.
DC Power: 10 Watts
AC Power: 10VA
Insulation: Class F
Duty Cycle: 100%
Electrical Connection: DIN43650A
Protection: IP65 with Connector
The DIN connector is included.
The relatively low power requirement is particularly useful in refrigeration machinery where valves may remain energised continuously for extended periods.
Voltage Options
Available voltages include:
✓ 12V DC
✓ 24V DC
✓ 200V DC
✓ 24V AC
✓ 110V AC
✓ 230V AC
Normally Open Option
The standard RSG 216-DN25-LR is normally closed, stopping refrigerant flow when electrical power is removed.
A normally open version is available for applications requiring refrigerant flow in the de-energised state.
Mounting Provision
The valve incorporates:
2 × M8 mounting holes
These allow the larger DN25 valve to be independently secured within refrigeration machinery or OEM equipment, helping minimise mechanical loading on the copper tube connections and associated pipework.
Typical Applications
✓ Industrial Refrigeration
✓ Commercial Refrigeration
✓ Large Heat Pump Systems
✓ Industrial Chillers
✓ Refrigerant Gas Lines
✓ Refrigerant Liquid Lines
✓ Process Cooling Equipment
✓ Cold Store Systems
✓ Air Conditioning Equipment
✓ Refrigeration Compressors
✓ OEM Refrigeration Machinery
✓ Compatible Oil & Fluid Systems
Why Choose the RSG 216-DN25-LR?
The RSG 216-DN25-LR is designed for larger copper refrigeration lines requiring high refrigerant flow without threaded adaptors.
Its 28–42mm / 1⅛"–1⅜" copper tube connections, 18mm orifice and Kv up to 13 m³/h provide substantial flow capacity, while the pressure-assisted piston operates across 0.5–30 Bar with a 180 Bar burst pressure.
A -40°C to +150°C media temperature range, low-power 10W DC / 10VA AC coil, IP65 protection and 100% duty rating make it well suited to demanding commercial and industrial refrigeration installations.
