Alco Controls X-6346-16 Straight-Thru Body Flange

Alco Controls X-6346-16 Straight-Thru Body Flange is a 5/8 in. ODF inlet-to-outlet flange designed for Emerson/Alco T-Series thermostatic expansion valves, with TCL and TCLE configurations explicitly supported. The straight-thru design provides a direct, unobstructed flow path through the valve interface, minimizing pressure drop and simplifying piping layouts. This body flange uses 5/8 in. ODF connections at both ends to match compatible TXV bodies and refrigerant tubing, enabling reliable, leak-tight interfaces in DX cooling and refrigeration circuits. The X-6346-16 designation identifies the precise flange geometry used in TCL/TCLE take-apart valve assemblies, and it is listed in official Emerson Flow Controls catalogs alongside related X6346-series flanges. Typical installations place this flange at the refrigerant inlet or outlet of TCL/TCLE TXVs to connect 5/8 in. ODF tubing to the valve body, supporting dependable performance in equipment ranging from residential air-conditioners to commercial refrigeration units.
