O-Ring Install & Evap, Drier Opinions - THANKS!
Hey guys,
I just mocked up the evap and drier tubes and am getting ready to do the o-rings. Seems easy enough, a bit of supplied oi and the correct o-ring...tighten correctly... Just thought I would put it out there in case anyone sees a possible problem...this is my first time doing AC...hate finding mistakes after the fact. I don't have a manual to refer to for this and see the drier has the words evap and condensor...do the lines look correct...any tips? Thanks, Roger Last edited by BlackTopMotors; 05-19-2011 at 10:25 AM. |

Your evap- cond. lines look backwards to me. You have the cond line into evap port on the dryer. They usually have a directional arrow on them.

Looks like you are missing your A/C Inlet & Evaporator Tube Grommets that protect the aluminum tubes from the core support. We make them.. WES

Would there be any advantage to using a bit of teflon tape in addition to the o-rings...I want to make sure no leaking...?

The o rings do the sealing tape is not to be used. Also keep in mind that the dryer has a desiccant inside to absorb moisture so the system should be kept sealed. The drier is normally the last thing installed so moisture is not added to the system. If your still fabing up the system keep the lines capped and sealed as you wrk on it. Good Luck

I never bought anything from ackits.com but I've read good things about them. I had to look the part up for a 1972 Chevelle but they have them for $17.16. You SHOULD be able to find one at the local auto parts store. https://www.ackits.com/pc/37-13218/C...+-+Accumulator When you get your new one leave it sealed until you are ready to evacuate the system and charge it up. Just keep mocking up with what you got.

When I was doing 134 conversion several years ago I always had problems with orings leaking even when oiled with compressor oil got some of nylog and now I wouldn't put one together without it. One bottle goes a long way.
