M45x AWD V8-4.5L (VK45DE) (2008)
1. Clean piping connection points, and insert male-side piping into female-side piping.
2. Push inserted male-side piping harder so that female-side piping flare stretches garter spring.
3. If inside diameter of garter spring becomes larger than outside diameter of female-side piping flare, garter spring seats on flare. Then, it fits in
between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare to anchor piping connection point.
NOTE: When garter spring seats on flare, and fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare, it clicks.
CAUTION:
-
Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping straight in axial direction.
-
Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
-
After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connection does not come loose.
NOTE: One-touch joint connection is used in points below.
-
Low-pressure flexible hose to low-pressure pipe 1 (O-ring size: 16)
-
High-pressure flexible hose to condenser (O-ring size: 12)
-
High-pressure pipe 1 to high-pressure pipe 2 (O-ring size: 8)
-
High-pressure pipe 1 to condenser (O-ring size: 8)
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
-
The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This eliminates the possibility of the O-ring being
caught in, or damaged by, the mating part. The sealing direction of the O-ring is now set vertically in relation to the contacting surface of the
mating part to improve sealing characteristics.
-
The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby facilitating piping connections.
