Global Parts 3411946 A/C Expansion Valve

A/C Expansion Valve for Hyundai and Kia

Global Parts 3411946 is an A/C expansion valve that regulates refrigerant flow before it enters the evaporator. By slowing refrigerant at the proper point in the system, it helps the air conditioning circuit deliver consistent cooling performance in the vehicles listed below.

Compatible with Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento, Telluride, Forte, Forte Koup, and Forte5 applications, this part number 3411946 is a direct-fit service component for select factory A/C systems.

Key Features

• Expansion valve for automotive A/C flow control
• Helps meter refrigerant before the evaporator
• Supports efficient evaporator cooling performance
• Fits select Hyundai and Kia models
• Global Parts part number 3411946

Detailed Description

The expansion valve is a critical HVAC flow restrictor that controls how refrigerant enters the evaporator. Global Parts 3411946 is built for select Hyundai and Kia vehicles, including 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2019-2020 Kia Sorento, 2020 Kia Telluride front, 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe front, 2010-2012 Kia Forte, 2010-2012 Kia Forte Koup, and 2012 Kia Forte5. This part cross-references UAC EX10608C for the same application.

Use part number 3411946 when servicing an A/C system that requires a replacement expansion valve on these Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia models. The valve helps maintain proper refrigerant control so the evaporator can operate within the system’s intended cooling range.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or uneven cabin cooling
• Restricted refrigerant metering at the evaporator
• A/C performance loss after system service
• Incorrect refrigerant flow through the HVAC circuit
• Service replacement for worn expansion valve components

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the expansion valve during A/C service when the system is opened for repair or component replacement. Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and position before installation, since fitment varies by application. Confirm the system is properly evacuated, repaired, and recharged according to factory service procedures.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts recommends replacing the expansion valve/orifice tube each time the A/C system is serviced. That guidance reflects the role of this component in refrigerant control and evaporator performance.
