• Visible damage to the condenser core or fittings
• Weak A/C performance after age-related condenser wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the inlet and outlet fitting sizes before installation: #8 male O-ring inlet and #6 male O-ring outlet. Confirm condenser dimensions against the original unit and inspect adjacent A/C components for contamination, leaks, or damage before reassembly. Proper evacuation, leak testing, and refrigerant recharge are required after condenser replacement.
