REFRIGERANT LINES

The condenser to evaporator tube contains high pressure liquid refrigerant upstream of the A/C evaporator core orifice.

The A/C manifold and tube is attached to the A/C compressor, is sealed with O-ring seals and has the following features:
- The upstream side contains low pressure refrigerant gas.
- The downstream side contains high pressure refrigerant gas.
- A serviceable high pressure A/C charge port valve is located on the downstream side.
- Contains the pressure relief valve.
- The downstream side also contains a fitting used to mount the A/C pressure cutoff switch. A long-travel Schrader valve-type stem core is installed in the fitting so that the A/C pressure cutoff switch can be removed without discharging the A/C system.
