A/C Discharge Line

DESCRIPTION





NOTE: Typical A/C discharge line shown.

The A/C discharge line (1) is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C compressor to the A/C condenser and includes the high side service port (2) and a fitting (3) for the A/C pressure transducer (4).

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 discharge line has no serviceable parts except for the metal gaskets (5) and rubber O-ring seals (6) and the high side 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 and gaskets must be replaced whenever the A/C discharge line is removed.

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