Denso 475-2087 A/C Expansion Valve - Front

Denso New Expansion Valve 475-2087

Denso New Expansion Valve 475-2087 is an angle valve A/C expansion valve built to regulate refrigerant flow between the high- and low-pressure sides of the air conditioning system. For Acura RL and Toyota Land Cruiser or Toyota Van applications, this valve helps maintain proper evaporator performance and stable cabin cooling.

Denso’s New Expansion Valve line focuses on correct calibration for vehicle-specific HVAC systems. That matters because an expansion valve that is out of spec can disrupt heat exchange at the evaporator and contribute to freeze-up or poor cooling performance.

Key Features

• Angle valve design for A/C refrigerant metering
• Controls liquid refrigerant flow through the evaporator
• Supports proper separation of suction and discharge sides in the HVAC system
• O-rings included to OE specifications for proper fitting on listed applications
• Cross-reference: Acura 80220-SZ3-A01 and Toyota 88515-87004

Detailed Description

This Denso A/C expansion valve is a direct-fit HVAC flow restrictor for select Acura RL, Toyota Land Cruiser, and Toyota Van vehicles. It is engineered to meter refrigerant accurately so the evaporator can exchange heat as intended, helping the system deliver consistent vent temperatures. The part number 475-2087 is also referenced in aftermarket catalogs such as Four Seasons 39132 and Global Parts Distributors LLC 3411895 for the same application.

Compatible With 1996-2004 Acura RL, N/A; 1987-1989 Toyota Land Cruiser, N/A; and 1986-1989 Toyota Van, Front. For Toyota Van applications, the listing notes Front A/C and Primary HVAC use.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or inconsistent A/C cooling
• Evaporator freeze-up caused by incorrect refrigerant metering
• Poor heat exchange across the evaporator core
• HVAC performance issues tied to a worn or incorrect expansion valve
• Fitment concerns on listed Acura RL, Toyota Land Cruiser, and Toyota Van applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and A/C configuration before installation. Match the valve type and position to the original system layout, and inspect the mating surfaces and refrigerant lines for contamination or damage. Proper evacuation, leak checking, and recharge procedures are required after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Denso draws on decades of A/C system engineering experience for automakers, and this New Expansion Valve is built to meet the calibration needs of the listed applications. Correct refrigerant control is critical to HVAC operation, so using the proper valve for the vehicle helps maintain system performance.
