Evaporator Core Orifice

NOTE: the A/C evaporator core orifice should be replaced whenever an A/C compressor is replaced for lack of performance (internal damage). The A/C evaporator core orifice is located in the A/C evaporator core inlet tube.

The A/C evaporator core orifice is constructed with a plastic body, two screens and a small brass tube down the center of the plastic body. Two O-ring seals surround the A/C evaporator core orifice body to seal against leakage around the body.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the A/C evaporator core orifice with pliers or to twist or rotate the A/C evaporator core orifice in the A/C evaporator core tube. To do so will break the fixed orifice tube body in the evaporator core tube. Use only the recommended tool. Service and Repair
