A/C Expansion Valve for Kia Spectra

Global Parts 3411859 is an A/C expansion valve that regulates refrigerant flow before it enters the evaporator. By controlling refrigerant pressure and delivery, it helps the system use cooling capacity efficiently in 2004-2006 Kia Spectra and 2005-2006 Kia Spectra5 applications.

Key Features

• Expansion valve/orifice tube design for A/C refrigerant flow control
• Helps slow refrigerant before the evaporator for proper cooling performance
• Direct-fit service part for Kia Spectra and Kia Spectra5 applications
• Global Parts part number 3411859
• Cross-references UAC EX10307C for the same application

Detailed Description

This A/C expansion valve is used in the refrigerant circuit to meter flow into the evaporator, where pressure drop is required for heat absorption. Global Parts 3411859 is a service replacement for 2004-2006 Kia Spectra and 2005-2006 Kia Spectra5 models, making it a practical choice when restoring cooling performance in the Kia Spectra platform. The part number 3411859 is also listed with interchange references that include OE-style and aftermarket cross references for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Weak cabin cooling from improper refrigerant metering
• Erratic evaporator performance caused by flow restriction issues
• A/C service concerns when the expansion valve is worn or contaminated
• Reduced cooling efficiency in Kia Spectra and Kia Spectra5 systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the expansion valve during A/C service when the system is opened, and verify the refrigerant circuit is clean before reassembly. Proper evacuation, leak checking, and recharge procedures are required after installation. Confirm vehicle fitment by year and model before ordering Global Parts 3411859.

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 cooling performance.
