Global Parts 3411247 A/C Orifice Tube - Front

A/C Orifice Tube for Ford and Mazda Applications

Global Parts 3411247 is a red A/C orifice tube used in HVAC systems that rely on an orifice-tube design to meter refrigerant flow. By slowing refrigerant before it reaches the evaporator, it helps the system use cooling capacity more effectively. This part number 3411247 is listed for a wide range of Ford, Mazda, Mercury, Lincoln, and Jeep applications.

Key Features

• Red orifice tube design for A/C flow control
• Fits HVAC systems that use an orifice tube instead of an expansion valve
• Listed as an optional auto-adjust orifice tube 38902A application
• Direct fit coverage for many Ford Ranger, Ford F-150, and Mazda B-Series models
• Cross-references UAC EX1000C and Four Seasons 38635 for the same application
