A/C Discharge Line - Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C discharge line (1) is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C compressor to the A/C condenser (2) and is secured to the
condenser fan shroud (4) by a plastic retainer (3). The A/C discharge line has an integral fitting for the A/C pressure transducer (5) See: Refrigerant
Pressure Sensor / Switch/Description and Operation/Front A/C Pressure Transducer - Description.
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 rubber O-ring seals. 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 discharge line is disconnected.
The A/C discharge line cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged.
