A/C Suction Hose/Line

The suction line is the large line that connects to the expansion valve and goes to the compressor. It also has a small line that goes to the filter/drier. The suction line uses a gasket on the expansion valve side and rubber O-rings on all other connections.

There are no serviceable parts on the suction line other than the rubber O-rings and expansion valve gasket. If the line is found to be leaking or is damaged it must be replaced as an assembly.
