Peanut Fitting

The A/C condenser core uses 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.
