Detailed Description

This Global Parts A/C expansion valve is built for service on select GM platforms, including Buick Skylark, Oldsmobile Achieva, Pontiac Grand Am, and Chevrolet Corsica applications with valve-style A/C systems. By slowing refrigerant before the evaporator, the valve helps the system manage refrigerant flow as part of normal cooling operation. Global Parts recommends replacing the expansion valve/orifice tube whenever the A/C system is serviced, and part number 3411305 is listed for those applications.

Common A/C Issues It May Address

• Uneven cabin cooling from restricted refrigerant flow
• Loss of evaporator performance during A/C service
• Contamination-related flow control problems in the refrigerant circuit
• Service replacement needs on valve-style GM A/C systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses the listed valve-style A/C configuration before ordering. Match the original part number 3411305 and confirm the application by year, make, model, and system type. During A/C service, inspect the refrigerant circuit for contamination and replace related components as needed to restore proper system operation.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts supplies this expansion valve as a service replacement for the listed GM applications. The manufacturer recommends renewing the expansion valve/orifice tube each time the A/C system is serviced to maintain proper refrigerant control.
