The discharge line from comp to cond needs to be the standard equivalent of a #8 hose. Reduced OD hose is OK but requires special fittings. Aluminum tube is OK but you need to check the pressure rating of the tubing you want to use. The high side can sometimes (inadvertantly) get to 300-350 psi, I ...

I don't understand what you are talking about. May I suggest we talk about the pipe/hose assemblies like this: Discharge Line - Goes from compressor to the condenser, high pressure, high temperature gas Liquid Line - Goes from the condenser to the receiver, also might apply to another line that goe...

That side of the system is very forgiving, the sizes tbird listed are pretty standard. I don't think I've ever seen a #10 discharge hose, nothing wrong with it as long as it doesn't burst, only downside is it's stiffer, bigger, more expensive, harder to route, no performance problems. #8 is usually...

So cond to FD is now 8 and only needs to be 6, so again, you can go up in size, never down Same for the comp to cond, you are 10 now, which is larger than it needs to be, so no problem. Are all your connections Male Insert O Ring? Or are there flares involved Where are you finding these adapters? R...

I personally am having some trouble with the way you are describing, esp what to what The typical hose sizes are as follows evap to comp 10 comp to cond 8 cond to FD 6 FD to TXV 6 What kind of mongrel setup do you have? What is the car? Sounds like the drier you are using has non-standard connectio...

I'm curious if having various hose sizes will cause problems when updating an old car AC system. I'm replacing the condenser in this phase. My old system was like this: Hi Side: Compressor Size 10 with barb and # 10 hose clamped --- downsize adapter near condenser to short piece of hose - Size 8 hos...

Anyone have a source for special AC fittings? This is a 15 degree fitting connecting to my drier - and since it's a pretty tight fit the curve makes it work.

Not trying to hijack the forum sponsor here - this is a PF with exact fit for my Camaro. I'm just wondering how much hassle it is to make a universal work after seeing this price.

So at least both inlet and outlet on passenger side. Probably not going to find one with the drop tube, so a 90 degree fitting on the inlet will get the hoses pointed at the stock routing. I will have a look Something like this 25.6 x16 x 3/4 thick perhaps? https://shop.bergstrominc.com/Bergstrom/I...

Pic please one should be on top the other on bottom One does indeed come out at the top but there's a permanent line that goes down the side of the condenser and then turns 90 degrees out at the bottom, so as far as hoses are concerned, they both attach at the bottom - one above the other. Make sen...
