About the Four Seasons Hose Assembly Product Line

The Four Seasons Hose Assembly line focuses on providing complete hose assemblies tailored for HVAC systems in vehicles. This product line integrates essential components such as orifice tubes and service ports directly into the hose assembly, simplifying installation and ensuring compatibility. The 65197 part exemplifies this approach by combining a liquid line hose with a captured orifice tube, designed to meet the specific needs of Dodge Dakota A/C systems.

Detailed Product Description

The Four Seasons 65197 A/C liquid line hose assembly is engineered to maintain optimal refrigerant flow within the air conditioning system of Dodge Dakota vehicles.
