Re: Put a bend in new suction hose to match OE

Thank you for your response. I just do not see how I can bend the new hose to go back around to the accumulator without it kinking. It kinks every time. I got another manifold, made by 4 seasons today that seemed to have thicker hose and it did the same as soon as I tried to put the bend in. Does th...

Re: Put a bend in new suction hose to match OE

Thank you. There has to be a way. :?: Here is another picture of the old factory line. The extreme curve needs to be duplicated with the new line. http://i.imgur.com/DZiTpYD.jpeg Here is a picture that I have of the old line installed.

Yes, that second one is the correct line. The things is how do you make that suction line bend without it collapsing? It comes straight off of the compressor towards the front of the truck then you have to make it do a 180 degree bend to come back to the drier. I have the new line in my possession.

Re: Put a bend in new suction hose to match OE

Yes, the truck has the rear ac and it is the manifold. Here is a better picture of the old and new lines. It has to bend back around to go into the drier in the background of the first picture. I have the new line. I just do not see how I can bend it. New: http://i.imgur.com/QDAn8p2.jpeg Old: http:/...

Put a bend in new suction hose to match OE

Hello. 2002 Ford Excursion Limited (7.3 diesel). The liquid line from the compressor to the condenser failed so I got a replacement. Where the suction line comes off of the compressor to the drier, the old line bent like a D. The replacement (rubber portion) is the same length, but it is straight. H...
