Four Seasons Expansion Valve Product Line Details

The Four Seasons Expansion Valve product line focuses on precision-engineered A/C flow restrictors that regulate refrigerant flow to optimize air conditioning system efficiency. The 39160 model exemplifies this line by combining robust aluminum material with carefully designed fitting sizes and sealing methods, such as insert o-rings, to maintain system integrity and prevent leaks in Land Rover Range Rover vehicles.

Technical Description and Specifications

This A/C expansion valve is constructed from aluminum, providing a lightweight yet sturdy component that resists corrosion. It is a block-type valve compatible with R134a refrigerant, featuring two mounting holes for secure attachment. The valve includes female suction inlet and outlet fittings with No. 10 and No. 12 thread diameters respectively, both non-threaded types. Similarly, the liquid inlet and outlet fittings are female with No. 6 and No. 8 thread diameters, also non-threaded. The valve uses insert o-ring seals (green o-rings, part numbers 24606 and 24608) to ensure a tight, leak-free connection. Liquid inlet and outlet sizes measure 0.41 inches (10.5 mm) and 0.54 inches (13.6 mm) respectively.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Regulates refrigerant flow to maintain optimal A/C system pressure
• Prevents compressor damage caused by improper refrigerant metering
• Eliminates inconsistent cabin cooling due to faulty expansion valves
• Addresses refrigerant leaks related to worn or damaged valve seals
• Improves overall air conditioning system efficiency in Land Rover Range Rover vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Four Seasons Expansion Valve 39160, ensure the vehicle is compatible with R134a refrigerant systems. Use the two mounting holes to securely fasten the valve in place. Verify that all female fittings align correctly with the corresponding suction and liquid lines, and confirm that the insert o-rings are properly seated to prevent leaks. Avoid overtightening fittings to maintain the integrity of the non-threaded connections.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

This expansion valve meets or exceeds OEM specifications, providing reliable performance for Land Rover Range Rover A/C systems. Four Seasons products typically come with a limited warranty covering defects in material and workmanship, ensuring confidence in the durability and function of part number 39160.
