Peanut Fitting






The A/C condenser core uses the peanut-shaped refrigerant fittings instead of spring lock couplings.
- The male and female blocks of the peanut fitting are retained with a nut.
- An O-ring seal is installed around the tube on the male block.
- The female block is welded to the tube and is not adjustable.
- Support the female fitting with a wrench to prevent twisting of the tubes.
- The male block will pivot around the tube to allow for alignment with the female block during assembly.
- When properly assembled the male and female fittings should be flush.
