Precision Machined Refrigeration Valve Components
ORRCO produces precision machined refrigeration valve components for manufacturers who supply the HVAC and refrigeration industry. With over 80 years of machining experience and high-volume production capability, we deliver the tight tolerances, thread accuracy, and dimensional consistency that refrigeration valve applications demand.
Brass Valve Bodies for Refrigeration Systems
One of ORRCO’s core specialties is machining brass valve bodies for refrigeration and HVAC applications. These components are precision-machined with critical port configurations, tight thread specifications, and the dimensional accuracy required for proper valve function and leak-free performance in refrigeration systems.
Refrigeration valve bodies must meet exacting standards — threads that are even slightly out of spec will cause leaks or assembly problems. Port diameters and locations must be held to tight tolerances to ensure proper refrigerant flow and system performance. ORRCO’s multi-spindle screw machining capability delivers this level of precision across high-volume production runs, with every valve body machined to the same specifications, run after run.
High-Volume Production for Valve Manufacturers
Refrigeration valve manufacturers often require large quantities of valve bodies and components with absolute dimensional consistency. A single out-of-spec part in a batch of thousands can cause field failures, warranty claims, and costly recalls. ORRCO’s quality systems and in-process inspection protocols ensure dimensional consistency across every piece we produce.
Our multi-spindle screw machining capability is purpose-built for high-volume precision work — delivering thousands of identical components per run with the repeatability and cost-effectiveness that valve manufacturers depend on. We work directly with your engineering and procurement teams to establish reliable supply arrangements that keep your production lines running.
Valve Components We Produce
ORRCO machines precision components used in refrigeration and HVAC valve assemblies:
- Brass valve bodies with tight thread specifications
- Valve bonnets and caps
- Valve stems and actuator components
- Port adapters and fittings
- Custom valve housings and manifolds
- Refrigerant control valve components
Materials for Refrigeration Valve Components
ORRCO machines precision machined refrigeration valve components primarily from brass — the industry-standard material for refrigeration valves due to its excellent machinability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with refrigerants. We also work with other materials as specified:
- Brass — primary material for refrigeration valve bodies; excellent machinability and corrosion resistance
- Copper — refrigerant fittings and specialty components
- Stainless Steel — high-pressure applications and corrosive environments
- Aluminum — lightweight valve housings and manifolds
Thread Accuracy and Tight Tolerances
Refrigeration systems operate under pressure with expensive refrigerants and critical temperature control requirements. A thread that’s out of spec causes leaks. A port diameter that’s off by a few thousandths affects flow rates and system performance. A valve body with inconsistent dimensions won’t seal properly.
ORRCO routinely holds tolerances to ±0.001 inches and tighter on critical features including threads, bores, and port locations. Our experienced setup and programming team works with your engineering specifications to ensure every dimension that matters is held to spec — consistently, across every production run.
Quality and Process Control
Every refrigeration valve component we produce goes through dimensional inspection before shipment. Our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system provides full traceability from raw material to finished part, with dimensional reports available on request.
