Discharge Line







DESCRIPTION





NOTE: 4.0L LHD model shown. Other models similar.

The A/C discharge line (1) is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C compressor to the A/C condenser.

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 (2) and rubber O-ring seals (3). 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 and installed.

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