Global Parts 3411287 A/C Expansion Valve

Global Parts 3411287 A/C Expansion Valve

Global Parts 3411287 is an A/C expansion valve/orifice tube for HVAC flow control in a wide range of import and domestic applications. It meters refrigerant before the evaporator so the system can use cooling capacity efficiently, making it a direct replacement choice for service work on vehicles such as the Honda Civic, Acura Integra, and Mazda B2200.

Key Features

• STD expansion valve/orifice tube design for refrigerant flow control
• 12" capillary and 13" equalizer configuration
• 1/4 O-ring female nut connection
• Built for A/C service on vehicles across multiple makes and model years
• Global Parts part number 3411287 for catalog and service identification

Detailed Description

This expansion valve helps regulate refrigerant delivery into the evaporator, where pressure drop and metering are critical to stable cabin cooling. Global Parts 3411287 is listed for broad vehicle coverage, including Fits 1988-1991 Honda Civic, Fits 1990-1993 Acura Integra, and Fits 1987-1993 Mazda B2200. It also cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 902-210 for the same application. For technicians servicing older A/C systems, 3411287 provides a straightforward replacement path when the original flow restrictor is worn, restricted, or no longer controlling refrigerant properly.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or inconsistent vent temperatures
• Restricted refrigerant flow at the evaporator inlet
• Improper A/C system metering after service
• Cooling performance loss caused by a worn expansion valve/orifice tube
• Service replacement needs on vehicles with original-style HVAC hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connection style, capillary length, equalizer length, and O-ring fitting before installation. Match the vehicle application exactly, since this part is used across many makes and model years, including Honda Civic, Acura Integra, and Mazda B2200. When servicing the A/C system, inspect the surrounding components for contamination or restriction and confirm the system is properly evacuated and recharged after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts recommends replacing the expansion valve/orifice tube each time the A/C system is serviced. That service guidance reflects the part’s role in maintaining proper refrigerant metering and evaporator performance.
