Heavy-duty forged brass stop valves configured for variable refrigerant volume (VRV) systems.
High-precision gas management torch units engineered for critical copper-to-brass braze joints.
Designed for continuous operation under severe ambient temperature shifts typical of US climates.
As the United States accelerates the electrification of thermal loads through mini-split heat pumps and multi-zone VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) systems, the technical requirements for line-set service interfaces have reached unprecedented heights. Under the updated EPA Section 608 regulations and the phased transition to mild A2L flammable refrigerants (such as R-32 and R-454B), valve architecture must eliminate leakage paths completely.
Standard mini-split service valves must now handle higher design operating pressures—often exceeding 600 PSI (41.5 Bar)—while maintaining hermetic performance under dramatic seasonal thermal cyclings ranging from sub-zero Midwestern winters to Southern desert heatwaves. This macro industry shift demands brass fittings and stop valves that feature triple-sealing protection systems, robust internal valve cores, and high-purity C12200 copper extensions to withstand vibration-induced fatigue.
Founded in 1988 as the Xiangshan Refrigeration Accessories Factory of Zhejiang University, our enterprise has spent nearly four decades developing into a premier manufacturer of high-precision refrigeration accessories. In 2021, Taojun was recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise, demonstrating our dedication to technical and process innovation, manufacturing system upgrades, and modern fluid management design.
Operating from our ISO 9001:2015-certified production facility, we produce filter driers, check valves, air conditioning split valves, condensers, brass and copper connectors, and key system line-set interfaces. Our brand has established long-term engineering partnerships with leading global brands such as Haier, Midea, Whirlpool, Electrolux, and Gree.
How our engineering team addresses structural integrity, refrigerant containment, and system longevity for global industrial applications.
Our split service valves utilize a triple-barrier sealing structure: high-elasticity neoprene/HNBR O-rings, a PTFE backup ring to resist high-pressure extrusion, and a metal-to-metal back-seat interface to prevent stem leakage even under transient thermal shocks.
To ensure superior field brazeability and corrosion resistance in coastal or high-humidity regions of North America, we utilize high-purity C12200 copper extensions, cold-drawn to precise ASTM B280 dimensional tolerances for smooth line-set insertion.
To guarantee containment of high-pressure A2L and A1 refrigerants (up to R-410A / R-454B pressures), every valve undergoes automated vacuum-chamber helium leak detection with a threshold sensitivity of <1x10⁻⁸ mbar·l/s, virtually eliminating micro-porosity issues.
