4.2. | Insert the long screen end of the new orifice (1) into the evaporator tube (2). |
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Connect the evaporator tube at the fitting.
Tighten
Tighten the fitting to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
- Evacuate and recharge the system. Refer to
Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging
.
- Leak test the fittings of the repaired component using
