ORIFICE TUBE GM BLK POROUS - FJC

The FJC 3105 Black Porous Orifice Tube is a critical component engineered to restore and maintain optimal performance in General Motors (GM) automotive air conditioning systems. This precision-engineered orifice tube plays a vital role by accurately metering the flow of liquid refrigerant into the evaporator, facilitating the necessary pressure drop and phase change required for efficient cooling. A robust filter screen is integrated to capture debris, safeguarding the entire A/C system from contamination and potential compressor damage.

Key Features

• Precise Refrigerant Flow Control: Specifically designed with a 0.057-inch diameter to ensure accurate refrigerant metering for consistent and efficient cooling performance in GM applications.
• GM Specific Design: Features a black porous construction tailored for seamless compatibility and optimal function within a wide range of GM vehicle A/C systems.
• System Protection: Equipped with a fine mesh screen that acts as a vital filter, preventing debris and contaminants from circulating and potentially clogging the evaporator or damaging the compressor.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured with professional-grade materials to withstand the demanding pressures and temperature variations inherent in automotive A/C systems, ensuring long-lasting reliability.
• Fixed Restriction Design: As a fixed orifice device, it provides a stable and predictable restriction in the refrigerant line, separating the high and low-pressure sides of the A/C system.

Applications

This FJC 3105 orifice tube is an essential replacement part for professional technicians performing A/C system repairs or overhauls on various GM vehicles. Common applications include addressing issues such as reduced cooling, inconsistent vent temperatures, or complete A/C system failure often caused by a clogged or compromised orifice tube.

It is compatible with numerous GM models, including but not limited to:

• Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2006-2010), Tahoe (2006-2013), Suburban (2006-2009, 2011-2013)
• GMC Yukon (2006-2013), Sierra (2006-2009)
• Cadillac Escalade (2006-2013)
• Earlier models such as Chevrolet C1500/C2500 Pickup (1990-1999), Camaro (1996-2001), Cavalier (1989-2005), and Pontiac Firebird (1996-2001).

Replacing the orifice tube is a standard procedure when servicing the A/C system, especially after a compressor failure or during a system flush, ensuring proper refrigerant and lubricant flow.
