The orifice tube should be located inside of the metal AC line from the condenser. The discharge hose (from the compressor) connects to the top on the condenser (inlet). The orifice tube mounts in the bottom of the condenser (outlet to the evaporator). The outlet tube of the condenser has a 45º upward angle. If it is not in that location it will be farther out on the same line where it connects. Here is a diagram that might help.

Two places, in the line that goes into the evaporator, the line will have a small indentation about three inch from the connector, or back of the grill on the passenger side, in the lines that connect to the condensor, line line will also have a indentation on it if it's there.

SOURCE: Where, exactly, is the orifice tube located on my truck?

the orfice tube is locate in the line between condenser and evaporator. near the spring lock coupling. you must unbolt the cruise servo and overflow bottle, reposition them out of way and you will see the line connection..the orfice is inside line near that uniion. the ac system must be evacuated prior to removal, and recharged afterwards..

How do i replace orifice tube

First off the system has to be evacuated of all freon and oil. The orifice tube is located in the low pressure line some where in the system usually located by a indent in the line. I would recommend having it replaced and the system possibly flushed by a proffessional who has the equipment to properly evacuate and recharge and possibly flush the system if there is a restriction within the orifice tube

Were is expansion valve in a 2002 Chevy trailblazer in the truck

Are your asking about TXV valve thermal expansion valve for A/C system ? If you are ,yours doesn't have one . Has an orifice tube , The orifice tube is located in the liquid line between the condenser and the evaporator !
The orifice tube is the dividing point for the high and the low pressure sides of the A/C system. As the refrigerant passes through the orifice tube, the pressure on the refrigerant is lowered. Due to the pressure differential on the liquid refrigerant, the refrigerant will begin to vaporize at the orifice tube. The orifice tube also meters the amount of liquid refrigerant that can flow into the evaporator.
Unless you are referring to the auxiliary A/C system for the back of the vehicle , it uses a
The rear TXV is located at the rear evaporator inlet. The TXV is the dividing point for the high and the low pressure sides of the rear A/C system. As the refrigerant passes through the TXV, the pressure on the refrigerant is lowered. Due to the pressure differential on the liquid refrigerant, the refrigerant will begin to boil at the expansion device. The TXV also meters the amount of liquid refrigerant that can flow into the evaporator.

Where is the location of the ac orifice tube on 06 chevy silverado

The orifice tube is located in the line of the high pressure side of the system it maybe at the condenser or in the high pressure line. You should be able to feel a crimp in the line and the is the stop for the orifice. I believe the o6 is in the line and as I said there is a crimp in the line where the orifice is located.

Location of orifice tube in 2000 chevy venture

best advice is the method i would use to located the orifice tube in the 2000 chevy venture. check the automotive repair book section in your local library. Most libraries have repair manuals on their automotive shelf section. find the a/c manual for your year and model car. make a copy of the page that has the information you need. you will need to make a copy because the library will not let those manuals be checked out. you might want to google for the location of the orifice tube location. I hope this helps.

Where is the orifice tube on my 1998 gmc sierra air conditioner system

In front of your radiator is the condensor. On the passenger side of the condensor are two lines. One runs parallel with the condensor fins (upper), and the other runs at an angle (lower). The lower line in the condensor is where your orifice is located. Properly evacuate the system and remove the fitting on the lower line. the orifice is located in the the tube that is at an angle on the condensor Look inside the tube and you will see the top of the orifice. looks like a crosshair. Carefully remove it with good needle nose pliers. DO NOT TWIST WHILE TRYING TO REMOVE IT. Just pull it out of the tube. It may be a little stubborn. Once removed, install the new orifice and replace the o ring on the line fitting. Have the system checked for leaks and recharge with freon.

What is the purpose, and what is the proper location of the orifice tube in the air conditioning system on my 1991 chevy silverado?

The orifice tube restricts the flow of refrigerant to the evaporator. This restriction allows high pressure liquid freon to change into low pressure freon before entering the evaporator. The orifice tube is located inside the hose running between the condenser and the evaporator. You'll need an orifice tube removal kit if you are looking to remove it.

Where exactly is the orifice tube located at on a 1996 (DOHC v6)?

it's in the high pressure liquid line.

A/C Evaporator Core Orifice The A/C evaporator core orifice (19D990) should be replaced whenever the A/C compressor (19703) is replaced for lack of performance (internal damage). The A/C evaporator core orifice, located in the condenser to evaporator tube (19835), cannot be serviced in detail as a component of the line. If replacement is necessary, follow the procedure outlined for Liquid Line Removal and Installation. An orifice tube replacement service kit may be used as an optional service procedure. Refer to Section 12-00 for information regarding the use of an A/C Evaporator Core Orifice Replacement Kit E5VY-19D695-A.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/C Evaporator Core Orifice Replacement Kit Installation
  1. Discharge A/C refrigerant system. Refer to System Discharging and Recovery as outlined.
  1. Remove condenser to evaporator tube (19835) from vehicle.
  1. Locate A/C evaporator core orifice (19D990) by three indentations or a circular recess in metal portion of the condenser to evaporator tube.


    A/C Evaporator Core Orifice Location

  1. Note angular position of ends of condenser to evaporator tube so that it can be reassembled in correct position.
  1. Cut a 63.5 mm (2.5 inch) section from condenser to evaporator tube at A/C evaporator core orifice location. Do not cut closer than 25.4 mm (1 inch) from start of a bend in tube.

  1. Remove contaminants from the two pieces of the condenser to evaporator tube.
  1. NOTE: The inlet half of the condenser to evaporator tube will be positioned against the A/C evaporator core orifice tabs when correctly assembled.

    Lubricate fitting with clean refrigerant oil and assemble orifice tube kit (with A/C evaporator core orifice installed) to condenser to evaporator tube. Make sure flow direction arrow is pointing toward evaporator end of the condenser to evaporator tube, and taper of each compressor ring is toward compression nut.
