Fuel System Parts 

Fuel system parts include fuel injection hose, Type G fuel injection hose clamps, fuel, emission, PCV, vacuum and wiper hose, and universal hose fittings.

Fuel injection hose is designed for high-pressure applications and meets or exceeds the performance requirements of Chrysler MS2A25, General Motors GM6136M, Ford ESE M2D25A, American Motors AM 355, and SAE 30R9. Premium SAE 30R9 fluorinated nitrile hose is impervious to emission and fuel permeation, specifications commonly encountered during fuel system service and replacement work performed by car service shops throughout Warren County, New York.

The Hypalon outer tube and cover resists harsh underhood conditions. Burst strength exceeds 900 PSI. The hose can be used with virtually all fuels including gasoline, gasohol, and diesel. It is intended for domestic and import fuel injected vehicles.

Type G fuel injection hose clamps include a full 360 degree unbroken inner band. These clamps are required for fuel injection hoses. They have rounded edges and a hex slotted screw head.

Fuel, emission, PCV, vacuum, and wiper hose uses a Hypalon outer cover for temperatures up to 275 degrees F. It uses a nitrile inner tube fuel line that resists alcohol, ethanol, methanol, and most other gasoline additives. It includes heavy synthetic reinforcement rated up to 250 PSI burst pressure. Heavy wall vacuum hose is kink resistant, heat resistant, and will not collapse. Fuel line hose is not for fuel injection systems.

Universal fittings include a 5-way hose tee, hose tees, Y hose connectors, hose elbows, F hose elbows, and hose connectors.

Crankcase ventilation hose tees are available for Ford Motor Co. products and General Motors products.

Air conditioning orifice tubes are refrigerant expansion devices used in automotive air conditioning systems.

Orifice tubes are fixed-metering expansion devices used in automotive air conditioning systems.

Variable orifice valves are variable-metering refrigerant expansion devices intended as drop-in replacements for ineffective fixed orifice tubes, and no modifications are required. Variable orifice valves can provide 5 to 10 degrees F colder discharge air at hot idle. 

Variable orifice valves can provide much improved performance when converting from R12 to R134a. Variable orifice valves can reduce compressor load and can improve city fuel economy and emissions. Variable orifice valves can extend compressor life. Variable orifice valves provide increased A/C cooling and can deliver up to 10 degrees F colder air at idle, which can produce a colder interior in stop and traffic conditions. 

Variable orifice valves are specified for R-12 and R134a systems. Variable orifice valves use a precision metering system with improved materials to provide improved operation, improved control, precise pressure regulation, quick response, and sensitivity to flow and quality. Variable orifice valves provide complete vehicle coverage using two product groupings.

Variable orifice valves use system pressure and refrigerant flow to move a metering piston relative to a fixed opening in the sleeve. Variable orifice valves use a spring attached to the piston to resist piston movement. Variable orifice valves shift the piston to a smaller metering area similar to a TXV when idling at high ambient temperatures. 

Variable orifice valves compensate for reduced compressor output and increase cooling performance under those conditions. Variable orifice valves use a two-part metering design that reduces compressor load and increases overall A/C system performance. Variable orifice valves provide performance greater than a TXV without TXV complexity or reliability concerns. 

Variable orifice valves differ from TXVs because TXVs have constantly moving parts and small internal clearances, while variable orifice valves have large internal clearances, are extremely durable, and operate over a wide range of conditions. Variable orifice valves use a low-friction floating design to ensure smooth operation and extremely long service life.

Inline orifice tube housing repair kits may be required when a liquid line contains a non-replaceable original orifice tube. Inline orifice tube housing repair kits that accept a variable orifice valve can be used in that condition.

High side in-line filter is OEM tested and approved. High side in-line filter is designed for high side in-line use and provides complete protection against wear and breakage to air conditioning systems. High side in-line filter protects against compressor failure and reduces oil and refrigerant replacement. 

High side in-line filter installs quickly without modifications. High side in-line filter uses a trapped sealing sleeve that provides 10 times the sealing area of older filter designs and provides chemical resistance to most oils and refrigerants. High side in-line filter can be used as an inline splice or repair device for damaged orifice tube holders and incorporates any size orifice tube, including the installation clip. 

High side in-line filter is capable of sub-cooling an A/C system. High side in-line filter is intended for use after a catastrophic compressor failure because the recover, dehydrate, accumulator dehydrator, orifice tube, and thermostatic expansion valve were never designed to act like major system filters.
