Global Parts 3411254 A/C Orifice Tube

A/C Orifice Tube for Select Mazda and Jeep Applications

Global Parts 3411254 is an A/C orifice tube used in HVAC systems that rely on an orifice-style refrigerant metering design. It slows refrigerant flow before the evaporator so the system can use cooling capacity more effectively. This part number 3411254 is a direct service replacement for select Mazda Tribute, Mazda 626, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Probe, and Mercury Tracer applications.

Key Features

• Type: Misc. expansion valve / orifice tube
• Controls refrigerant flow before the evaporator
• Supports proper A/C system metering in orifice-tube HVAC designs
• Global Parts part number 3411254
• Cross-references UAC EX2000C for the same application

Detailed Description

Global Parts 3411254 is an HVAC A/C flow restrictor built for vehicles that use an orifice tube instead of a thermal expansion valve. By regulating refrigerant entering the evaporator, it helps the system maintain the correct pressure drop for cooling performance. This makes it a practical service part for A/C repairs on vehicles such as the Mazda Tribute and Mazda 626, as well as Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Grand Cherokee applications.

The manufacturer recommends replacing the expansion valve or orifice tube whenever the A/C system is serviced. That guidance is especially relevant after compressor failure, contamination, or major refrigerant service, when the metering device can retain debris that affects system operation. Part number 3411254 is also listed with multiple interchange references for broad catalog coverage.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses an orifice-tube style A/C system before ordering. Match the original tube style and service notes for the application, including green-coded versions where specified. For Ford Probe and Mercury Tracer applications, verify whether the vehicle calls for the optional auto-adjust orifice tube 3411302 before installation.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts supplies this component as a cataloged replacement for the listed applications. The manufacturer’s service guidance supports replacing the orifice tube during A/C system service to help maintain proper refrigerant metering and cooling performance.
