ORIFICE TUBE D BL - FJC

The FJC 3116 ORIFICE TUBE D BL is a crucial component for maintaining efficient climate control in a variety of automotive applications. As a precision-engineered restriction device, this orifice tube effectively regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, a fundamental process for optimal air conditioning system performance. It is designed to ensure proper system pressures and refrigerant expansion, contributing to consistent cooling and compressor longevity.

Key Features

• Optimized Refrigerant Flow: Precisely controls the high-pressure liquid refrigerant entering the evaporator, essential for effective heat absorption and cooling within the vehicle's cabin.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured with professional-grade materials to meet or exceed stringent industry standards, ensuring reliability and extended service life in demanding automotive environments.
• Debris Filtration: Acts as a vital filter, trapping contaminants and debris within the A/C system to prevent them from reaching and damaging the compressor.
• Direct Replacement: Engineered for direct fit and function, providing a seamless replacement for the original equipment (OE) part in compatible vehicles.
• Cost-Effective Maintenance: Offers a simpler design and lower replacement cost compared to thermal expansion valves, making it an economical choice for AC system repairs.

Applications

The FJC 3116 ORIFICE TUBE D BL is primarily utilized in automotive air conditioning systems that employ an orifice tube for refrigerant metering, often found in various American vehicles, particularly Ford and GM models. This specific blue orifice tube is compatible with a range of Ford vehicles, including Bronco (1991-1993), Escort (1990, 1998), Explorer (1993, 2006-2009), F-Series trucks (F-150 1991-1993, 1997-2009; F-250 1991-1993, 2008-2010; F-350 1991-1993; F-450 1997), Mustang (1990, 2007-2009), Ranger (1994-1997), Sport Trac (2007-2009), and Taurus (1990). It is also applicable to certain Lincoln, Mazda, and Nissan models that specify this particular orifice tube. Professional technicians rely on this component during automotive AC repair and routine maintenance to restore and maintain optimal vehicle climate control. Replacement is recommended during any A/C system repair, especially if debris or contamination is present.
