Bard part number 5651-211 is an OEM thermal expansion valve (TXV) with 3/8 inch by 3/8 inch connections used in Bard wall-mounted packaged air conditioners and heat pumps to meter refrigerant into the evaporator coil under changing load conditions. A properly operating TXV helps maintain stable superheat, supports consistent coil performance, and protects the compressor by preventing improper refrigerant feed. This is a fit-critical refrigeration component, so confirm compatibility by matching your unit model and serial number to the Bard parts list before ordering, and follow standard refrigeration best practices for clean installation and leak checking.
