Sporlan Type BF valve is a small brass bar
body valve with SAE flare connections and bal-
anced port construction. This valve has the same
exterior dimensions as the Type F valve. The
thermostatic element is replaceable, and the inlet
connection has a removable 100 mesh strainer.
The balanced port construction makes this valve
ideally suited for small capacity refrigeration
applications which operate over widely varying
operating conditions.
