Bard part number 5651-074 is an OEM expansion valve with 3/8 inch by 3/8 inch connections that meters refrigerant into the evaporator to maintain proper superheat and stable cooling performance in Bard wall mounted air conditioner and packaged equipment applications. Replacing a worn or restricted expansion valve can help correct symptoms like poor capacity, hunting pressures, icing, or inconsistent supply air temperatures. Because this is a refrigerant metering component, confirm the exact part number match to your unit model and serial range before ordering, and plan on standard refrigeration best practices during installation such as proper evacuation, leak checking, and charging per Bard specifications.
