Global Parts 3411896 A/C Expansion Valve

Global Parts A/C Expansion Valve for Select GM SUVs

Global Parts 3411896 is an A/C expansion valve/orifice tube designed to regulate refrigerant flow before it enters the evaporator. By slowing refrigerant at this point, the system can use cooling capacity more effectively. This part is listed for select Chevrolet Equinox and Saturn Vue applications.

Key Features

• A/C expansion valve/orifice tube for HVAC refrigerant control
• Helps meter refrigerant flow before the evaporator
• Recommended for service replacement when the A/C system is opened
• Fits 2005 Chevrolet Equinox, N/A
• Fits 2002-2004 Saturn Vue, N/A
• Fits 2004-2005 Saturn Vue, N/A

Detailed Description

Global Parts part number 3411896 is built for HVAC service work where precise refrigerant metering is required. It is listed for 2005 Chevrolet Equinox and 2002-2005 Saturn Vue applications, including vehicles noted as original with sensor; this unit does not come with a sensor, so the original sensor must be reused where applicable. This part cross-references Four Seasons 39137 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Weak or uneven cabin cooling
• Restricted refrigerant flow through the evaporator circuit
• A/C service after component replacement or system opening
• Restoring proper refrigerant metering on Chevrolet Equinox and Saturn Vue models
• Addressing HVAC performance issues tied to a worn expansion valve

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s original configuration before installation. For listed applications with a sensor, reuse the original sensor because Global Parts 3411896 does not include one. Replace the expansion valve/orifice tube during A/C service, then evacuate and recharge the system according to factory procedures.

Quality Assurance

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