FAQ

Is this fitting compatible with all vehicle makes?

The 1‑inch aluminum suction fitting conforms to industry‑standard thread sizes used by most manufacturers, making it compatible with a broad range of makes and models. However, always verify the thread pitch against your vehicle’s specifications before installation.

Can I use this fitting for a DIY repair?

Yes. The fitting is designed for easy hand‑tool installation. For best results, use a torque wrench to avoid over‑tightening and apply a suitable HVAC sealant if recommended by the vehicle’s service manual.

What pressure rating does this fitting have?

The fitting is rated for typical automotive AC system pressures up to 250 psi, which covers the operating range of most passenger‑vehicle air‑conditioning units.

Does the aluminum material affect refrigerant compatibility?

No. Aluminum is fully compatible with common refrigerants such as R‑134a and R‑1234yf. The material’s thermal conductivity also helps dissipate heat, contributing to system stability.
