The assembly includes a manifold and a service port with an R134a quick disconnect, facilitating maintenance and refrigerant charging. Although fittings are not included, the package contains multiple green O-rings (part numbers 24628 and 24670) and a spring O-ring (part number 24220) to ensure leak-free connections. The assembly does not include a bracket or muffler, aligning with original equipment design.

Applications and Common Issues Addressed

• Replacement of worn or leaking A/C refrigerant hoses in Ford Contour, Mercury Cougar, and Mystique
• Restoring proper refrigerant flow and pressure in R134a systems
• Resolving issues related to damaged or missing O-rings and gaskets causing leaks
• Addressing service port failures or incompatibility with quick disconnect tools

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle’s A/C system is fully evacuated before removing the old hose assembly. Verify compatibility with the Ford Contour, Mercury Cougar, or Mystique models prior to installation. Use the included green O-rings and gaskets to replace any worn seals, preventing refrigerant leaks. The P-nut fitting and male springlock connections require proper torque specifications to maintain system integrity.
