York S1-VLV-003WC 3-Ton Thermostatic Expansion Valve Overview
The York S1-VLV-003WC is a factory-specified Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) engineered for use with York BAE series air handlers equipped with 3-ton HCA coils. As a genuine OEM replacement component, this valve ensures your system operates with the precise refrigerant metering it was designed for — maintaining optimal evaporator performance, system efficiency, and equipment longevity.
Thermostatic expansion valves are a critical element in any split-system air conditioning or heat pump application. By accurately regulating refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil in response to real-time load conditions, the TXV prevents both flooding and starving of the coil — protecting the compressor and maximizing heat transfer efficiency.

Why Choose a Genuine York TXV?
Using an OEM-specified TXV ensures compatibility with York’s factory engineering tolerances. Third-party valves may not match the superheat settings, port sizing, or bulb charge specifications required for your BAE/HCA coil assembly. The S1-VLV-003WC is the correct, validated solution for maintaining peak system performance and preserving equipment warranties.
