Global Parts 3411453 A/C Expansion Valve

Global Parts 3411453 is an A/C expansion valve for the refrigerant flow control side of the HVAC system. It slows refrigerant before the evaporator so the system can use cooling capacity more effectively. Fits 2004-2008 Subaru Forester, N/A.

Key Features

• Direct-fit A/C expansion valve for HVAC refrigerant metering
• Helps regulate refrigerant flow entering the evaporator
• Supports consistent evaporator performance during A/C operation
• Fits 2004-2008 Subaru Forester, N/A
• Part number 3411453 for catalog and service matching

Product Details

This Global Parts expansion valve is built for vehicles that use a metering valve at the evaporator inlet rather than an orifice tube. By controlling refrigerant flow before it reaches the evaporator, the valve helps the system extract cooling more efficiently. This part cross-references Four Seasons 39171 for the same application. Global Parts 3411453 is listed for 2004-2008 Subaru Forester models, making it a focused replacement choice for Subaru Forester A/C service.

Common A/C Issues It May Address

• Restricted refrigerant flow at the evaporator inlet
• Uneven cabin cooling performance
• Incorrect refrigerant metering in the HVAC circuit
• A/C service repairs that require replacement of the expansion valve
• Loss of evaporator efficiency in the Subaru Forester A/C system

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s A/C system design before ordering and match the part to the original service layout. For 2004-2008 Subaru Forester applications, confirm the valve location and refrigerant line connections during service. The manufacturer recommends replacing the expansion valve/orifice tube whenever the A/C system is serviced.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts recommends this component as part of routine A/C service to maintain proper refrigerant control at the evaporator. Part number 3411453 is cataloged for the specified Subaru Forester fitment and cross-references established aftermarket numbers for the same application.
