Common Symptoms
- Visible refrigerant-oil residue around the connector or tube joint
- Reduced cooling following damage or disturbance of the connected tubing
- Extended compressor run time associated with a suspected sealed-system leak
Check Before Replacing
- Visually inspect the connector and adjacent tubing for oil residue, impact damage, corrosion, kinks, or an incompletely formed joint.
- Confirm that both connected tubes are approximately 8 mm (5/16-inch) outside diameter before selecting this straight connector.
- Have a qualified sealed-system technician perform an approved leak check at the joint; do not cut or loosen the tubing while the system is charged.
