Global Parts 3411240 A/C Expansion Valve

A/C Expansion Valve for Import Vehicle HVAC Systems

Global Parts 3411240 is an A/C expansion valve/orifice tube that meters refrigerant flow before it reaches the evaporator. By slowing refrigerant at the right point in the system, it helps the air conditioning circuit use cooling capacity efficiently. This part number 3411240 is a direct-fit option for a wide range of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Jaguar, Volkswagen, and Suzuki applications.

• HVAC flow restrictor for A/C expansion valve service
• Controls refrigerant flow before the evaporator
• Fits many import vehicles, including BMW M3, Mercedes-Benz 300SE, and Porsche 944
• Cross-references UAC EX9441C and EX10131C for the same application
• Recommended replacement during A/C system service

What This Part Helps Address

• Weak or uneven cabin cooling
• Incorrect refrigerant metering at the evaporator
• A/C performance loss after system service
• Restricted refrigerant flow in aging HVAC systems
• Service-related replacement on import A/C systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the expansion valve/orifice tube during A/C service, especially when the system has been opened or contaminated. Verify the vehicle application by year, make, and model before installation, and match the existing HVAC configuration to the listed fitment. For the best seal during service, use the specified O-ring locations noted in the fitment data.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts recommends replacing the expansion valve/orifice tube each time the A/C system is serviced. This part number 3411240 is built for the listed import applications and cross-references UAC EX9441C and EX10131C for the same application.
