Liquid Line
DESCRIPTION
The A/C liquid line (1) is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C condenser to the A/C evaporator. The A/C liquid line contains the high side service port (2) and a fitting for the A/C pressure transducer (3) and is secured to the A/C expansion valve by the tapping block portion of the A/C suction line (4).
The A/C liquid line is sealed to the A/C condenser and the A/C expansion valve by use of rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a refrigerant line is opened. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.
The A/C liquid line can be service separately from the A/C suction line and has no replaceable parts except for the O-ring seals, gaskets and the high side service port valve core. The O-ring seals and gaskets must be replaced whenever the A/C liquid line is removed.
The A/C liquid line cannot be repaired and must be replaced if found to be leaking or damaged.
