Hose/Line HVAC: Description and Operation
Suction Line
DESCRIPTION
The A/C suction line is the refrigerant line that goes from the A/C evaporator to the A/C compressor. The A/C suction line is made from light-weight
aluminum tubing with braze-less and crimp type fittings and nylon tubes with rubber barrier hose See: Description and Operation/Plumbing/Description.
The A/C suction line is serviced in two sections. The front section connects between the A/C accumulator and the A/C compressor. The rear section
connects between the A/C evaporator and the A/C accumulator and includes the low side service port.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals is required anytime a refrigerant line is disconnected. Failure to replace the rubber
O-ring seals may result in a refrigerant system leak.
The A/C suction line has no serviceable parts except for the O-ring seals and the low 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 must be replaced whenever the A/C suction line
is disconnected.
The A/C suction line cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged.
