Detailed Product Description

This Four Seasons Hose Assembly 55498 belongs to the Hose Assembly product line, which focuses on delivering high-quality HVAC hoses and pipes engineered for precise fit and function. The assembly is made from a combination of aluminum and rubber, providing a balance of strength and flexibility necessary for A/C refrigerant lines. It is designed for use with R134a refrigerant, the standard for many modern automotive air conditioning systems.

The hose assembly features dual female o-ring ends on both the discharge and suction sides, utilizing green o-rings (part numbers 24606, 24608, 24612, 24654, and 24251) to ensure leak-free connections. A switch service port is included to facilitate system diagnostics and maintenance.
