Global Parts 3411562 A/C Expansion Valve - Front

A/C Expansion Valve for GM Trucks and SUVs

Global Parts 3411562 is an A/C expansion valve/orifice tube designed to regulate refrigerant flow before it enters the evaporator. By slowing refrigerant at the right point in the system, it helps the evaporator use cooling capacity more effectively. It is a direct-fit service part for select Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC applications.

Key Features

• Expansion valve/orifice tube for automotive HVAC service
• Controls refrigerant flow before the evaporator
• Supports efficient A/C cooling performance
• Recommended for replacement during A/C system service
• Compatible with select Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, and GMC Sierra applications

Detailed Description

Global Parts part number 3411562 is built for vehicles that use an A/C expansion valve to meter refrigerant into the evaporator. Proper refrigerant control is critical for stable vent temperatures and consistent system operation. This part cross-references Four Seasons 39460 for the same application. It is a practical replacement choice for 2014-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500, 2500 HD, 3500, and 3500 HD models, as well as 2014-2016 GMC Sierra and Sierra 1500, 2500 HD, and 3500 HD models.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or inconsistent cabin cooling
• Restricted refrigerant metering at the evaporator
• A/C performance loss after system service
• Service-related contamination in the refrigerant flow path
• Fitment needs for Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV front A/C service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s A/C system design and match the part to the listed position before installation. For best results, replace the expansion valve/orifice tube during A/C service, especially after compressor failure, contamination, or major refrigerant loss. Confirm system cleanliness and evacuate and recharge the system according to factory procedures.

Quality Assurance

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