Global Parts A/C Expansion Valve 3411440

Global Parts 3411440 is an A/C expansion valve/orifice tube for HVAC refrigerant flow control. It slows refrigerant before the evaporator so the system can use cooling capacity efficiently. This part fits 2001-2005 Mazda Miata and 2001-2003 Toyota Prius applications.

Key Features

• OE-style A/C expansion valve for refrigerant metering at the evaporator
• Helps regulate refrigerant flow in the HVAC system
• Fits 2001-2005 Mazda Miata, N/A
• Fits 2001-2003 Toyota Prius, N/A
• Part number 3411440 for direct catalog lookup

Detailed Description

Global Parts 3411440 is built for vehicles that use an expansion valve/orifice tube to control refrigerant delivery into the evaporator. By slowing refrigerant before it reaches the evaporator, the system can absorb heat more effectively and maintain proper A/C operation. This part cross-references Four Seasons 39074 for the same application. It also cross-references UAC EX10138C for the same application. Common search terms for this part include 2001-2005 Mazda Miata A/C expansion valve and 2001-2003 Toyota Prius HVAC refrigerant flow restrictor.

What It Helps Fix

• Weak or uneven cabin cooling
• Improper refrigerant metering at the evaporator
• A/C performance loss after system service
• Restricted refrigerant flow caused by a worn valve
• HVAC cooling inconsistency in Mazda Miata and Toyota Prius applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the expansion valve/orifice tube during A/C service when the system is opened. Verify the vehicle application before installation, and inspect the rest of the HVAC system for contamination, leaks, or wear that could affect performance. Confirm the correct fitment for 2001-2005 Mazda Miata and 2001-2003 Toyota Prius before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts recommends replacing the expansion valve/orifice tube each time the A/C system is serviced to help maintain proper refrigerant control and evaporator performance.
