Danfoss Product Code Decoder — 003Z, 013G, 017B, 023U, 027L, 032F, 060G, 060H, 065B, 065Z, 068Z, 084H, 132F, 148B Series (Complete Reference)

Danfoss product code decoder — every industrial code family. Prefix explanation across all Danfoss divisions: refrigeration valves (003Z AB-QM PICV, 032F EVR solenoid, 068Z TEX/TQ expansion, 023U EEV), HVAC (065Z VRB balancing valves, 065B VRG rotary mixing, 013G RA-N radiator, 084H ETS electronic temperature), pressure switches (017B BCP boiler, 060G KP2/KP7 refrigeration, 060H DST industrial), controllers (084H EKC/EKF, 080Z AK2), drives (132B/F VLT FC series, 175/176 automation drives), and industrial (148B PVG proportional, 011L RA-C). Includes typical part-number breakdown, obsoleteness/legacy notes, and cross-links to cBallast product pages.

Danfoss product code decoder — the complete series reference

Every Danfoss part number begins with a three-character series prefix that tells you the product family, the physical connection type and, roughly, the operating pressure class. Once you can read the prefix, the rest of the number is a size / range / voltage suffix that reads off directly from the Danfoss catalogue page. This reference gives every industrial-catalogue prefix Danfoss currently uses across refrigeration, HVAC, drives and industrial automation — useful when you have only a code on a nameplate or PO line and need to identify the equipment family before pricing a spare or replacement.

Reading a Danfoss part number — anatomy

A typical Danfoss part number reads: 065B2432 (VFGS2 DN25 Kv=6.3). Break it down as:

• 065 — product family prefix (HVAC control valves, above).
• B — sub-family or connection type (globe body vs rotary vs 3-way, above).
• 2 — series number within the sub-family (VFGS2 = 2nd generation).
• 4 — body size / DN indicator (4 = DN25 in this series).
• 32 — Kv or size code (32 = Kv 6.3 in this range).

Not every family follows the same 3+1+1+1+2 pattern — the drives (131B/132F/134B) use a longer 3+1+4 pattern where the trailing digits code kW and voltage. Refer to the specific product catalogue for the exact size-code mapping. When in doubt, look up the code in the Danfoss Store product finder (public URL store.danfoss.com/en/p/<code>) — that page shows the product family, technical drawing and current successor code (if any).

Superseded & obsolete codes — how to find the current replacement

Danfoss maintains active superseded-part lookups but not everywhere. For older codes not on the current price list:

• Refrigeration switches — the pre-2000 3-digit prefix (060-XXXXXX) is superseded by the KP2/KP7 range in 060G. Convert by function and pressure range.
• Radiator valves — older RA-N codes (013G0001, 013G0003) are the current RA-N range's DN15 straight and angle. Same body, same threaded bushing.
• Solenoid valves — EVR 3/4/6 in 032F have been continuous since the 1990s; older EV series with different suffixes are same-body compatible with current EVR-16.
• Drives — VLT 2800 → FC 51 or FC 202 depending on application; VLT 5000 → FC 302. Convert by voltage, kW and control-mode requirement.
• PICV — older USV-P → current AB-QM 4.0. Different flow characteristic; do not swap without recalculation.

If the code returns nothing on the Danfoss Store search, it is either fully obsolete (no replacement) or an OEM-specific customer number that bypasses the public catalogue. In the second case, contact the Danfoss local sales office with the OEM's serial number for the equipment.
