has filter screens located on the inlet and outlet ends of the tube body.
-
The inlet filter screen acts as a strainer for the liquid refrigerant flowing through the A/C evaporator core orifice.

-
Adjustment or service cannot be made to the A/C evaporator core orifice assembly. It must be replaced as a unit.
