The Red Dot 71R8457 Burgundy Bulbless Block-Type Expansion Valve is designed for on-road Freightliner sleeper and cab HVAC systems, delivering stable refrigerant control without the use of an external sensing bulb. Its bulbless block construction improves durability in high-vibration environments while maintaining consistent system performance.
This model features a burgundy color code, Stat-O-Seal fittings on all ports, and is commonly used in Freightliner C112, C120, Century, Columbia, and Coronado models from 2002–2007. The valve replaces Freightliner Century Class auxiliary sleeper expansion valve assemblies and is well suited for heavy-duty, long-haul applications.
