Line-A/C Discharge

LINE-A/C DISCHARGE

DESCRIPTION




The A/C discharge line (1) is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C compressor (2) to the A/C condenser and includes the high side service port (3).

CAUTION: Use only the O-ring seals specified for the vehicle. Failure to use the correct O-ring seals will cause the refrigerant system connections to leak.

The A/C discharge line has no serviceable parts except for the rubber O-ring seals and the high service port valve core. The O-ring seals used on the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced whenever the A/C discharge line is removed and installed.

The A/C discharge line cannot be repaired and, if leaking or damaged, it must be replaced.
