The Heil Quaker ICP 1173715 Reversing Valve is a critical 4-way flow reversal component designed for heat pump seasonal switching. This OEM ICP replacement part features a factory-integrated 24V solenoid coil, ensuring seamless integration with standard low-voltage control circuits. Engineered for robust refrigerant flow control, it facilitates the transition between heating and cooling cycles by redirecting hot gas discharge. Technicians should verify suction and discharge line sizes before installation to ensure a proper sweat connection. This HVAC reversing valve is built to withstand high-pressure differentials across the slide assembly, preventing bypass leaks that compromise SEER ratings. For contractors performing heat pump repairs, this unit offers the precise port orientation required for Heil, Quaker, and various Inter City Products chassis. Proper brazing techniques using heat sinks or wet rags are mandatory during installation to protect the internal teflon seals and the 24V reversing valve coil from thermal damage. Key Benefits Precision Pressure Management: Maintains efficient refrigerant directional flow for consistent system performance in both cycles. Integrated Solenoid: Includes the pre-installed 24V coil, reducing diagnostic time and specialized component sourcing. OEM Compatibility: Exact fit for specific Heil and ICP air source heat pumps, ensuring correct port alignment and flow rates. Durable Construction: High-grade brass body and internal slide designed for long-cycle life under high-demand HVACR applications. Common Questions Is the solenoid coil included with the 1173715 valve? Yes, this specific part number includes the factory-mounted 24V solenoid coil, eliminating the need to reuse old or potentially faulty electrical components. What refrigerant types is this reversing valve compatible with? This valve is designed for use in modern high-pressure systems; however, always verify the specific refrigerant and oil type listed on the heat pump data plate before installation. Can this valve be mounted in any orientation? For optimal performance and to prevent oil trapping in the pilot assembly, follow the manufacturer's orientation specs, typically ensuring the pilot capillary tubes remain above the main valve body.
