Air Conditioning Suction Fitting Wisepick Aluminum

Description

Product Overview

The Wisepick #10 straight suction fitting is engineered for automotive air‑conditioning systems that demand reliable, high‑performance connections. Constructed from an aluminum tube for lightweight strength and an iron jacket finished with a zinc‑plated coating, the fitting resists corrosion and wear in harsh engine bay environments. The female O‑ring beadlock design, combined with a 7/8‑14UNF thread, guarantees a tight seal that prevents refrigerant leaks. Measuring 5.9 x 3.1 x 2 inches and weighing only 8 ounces, it offers easy installation without adding unnecessary bulk.

Usage

This fitting is intended for use on the suction side of automotive air‑conditioning circuits. One end, equipped with the iron jacket, connects securely to the standard #10 hose, while the opposite end attaches directly to the compressor or condenser inlet. It is perfect for routine maintenance, system rebuilds, or retrofitting older vehicles with newer components. Technicians and DIY enthusiasts alike will appreciate the straightforward installation process—no special tools beyond a standard wrench are required.
