Global Parts 3411296 A/C Orifice Tube - Front

A/C Orifice Tube for OE-Style Refrigerant Control

Global Parts 3411296 is a T-style A/C orifice tube used in HVAC systems that rely on a fixed flow restriction before the evaporator. By slowing refrigerant flow at the correct point in the system, it helps the evaporator use cooling capacity more effectively. This part number 3411296 is a direct-fit service component for a wide range of Audi, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Volvo, and other applications.

• T-style A/C orifice tube for refrigerant metering
• Fits select Audi S4, Audi S5, and Audi S6 applications
• Fits select Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade applications
• Fits select Volvo S70, Volvo C70, and Volvo 940 applications
• OE-style service part for HVAC repair and maintenance

What This Part Helps Address

• Weak cabin cooling caused by incorrect refrigerant flow
• Uneven evaporator performance in an A/C service repair
• Restriction-related pressure imbalance in the HVAC system
• Service issues after compressor, condenser, or line replacement
• Restoration of proper refrigerant metering in orifice-tube systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the orifice tube during A/C service when the system has been opened, contaminated, or repaired. Inspect the refrigerant lines and related HVAC components for debris before installation, and verify the correct color-coded application where applicable. This part number 3411296 is used in systems that require a T-style orifice tube, so confirm the vehicle’s original HVAC design before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts recommends replacing the expansion valve or orifice tube each time the A/C system is serviced. That guidance reflects standard HVAC maintenance practice for maintaining proper refrigerant control and consistent cooling performance.
