Installation Procedure
Important: Suction screens are intended to be installed in the suction hose after a major compressor failure.
1. Remove the A/C suction hose from the A/C compressor. Refer to.
2. Using a caliper that reads to 3 decimal places, measure the ID of the suction hose or manifold suction fitting. To determine the correct size screen
for the application, refer to Compressor Suction Screen and Tool Selection Specifications (See: Specifications/Mechanical
Specifications/Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning/Compressor Suction Screen and Tool Selection Specifications).
3. Select and install the correct mandrel (1) on the threaded portion of the installation tool bolt:
*
The brass Universal Mandrel is for use on hose fittings with a smooth bore where the screen installs flush with the end of the fitting.
*
The 11.96 mm (0.471 in) Mandrel is only for the 11.96 mm (0.471 in) screen in hose fittings with an internal hourglass shape where the screen
installs at the recessed, reduced diameter point.
4. Install the 11.96 mm (0.471 in) screen in the middle of the reduced diameter point of the fitting.
