Global Parts 3412056 A/C Expansion Valve

A/C Expansion Valve for Ford and Lincoln

Global Parts 3412056 is an A/C expansion valve 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 number 3412056 is a direct-fit service component for select Ford and Lincoln vehicles.

Key Features

• Expansion valve/orifice tube style A/C flow restrictor
• Controls refrigerant flow before the evaporator
• Supports efficient evaporator cooling performance
• Recommended for service replacement during A/C system work
• Cross-references Four Seasons 39657 and UAC EX10703C for the same application

Detailed Description

Global Parts 3412056 is used in the HVAC system to meter refrigerant entering the evaporator, helping the A/C system operate as designed.

If you are servicing a Ford Escape A/C system or replacing an expansion valve on a Lincoln Aviator, this part number 3412056 matches the listed applications.

What It Helps Address

• Weak cabin cooling caused by restricted refrigerant control
• Improper evaporator feed during A/C service
• Loss of cooling efficiency after HVAC component replacement
• Service-related contamination in the refrigerant metering circuit
• Need for a direct replacement expansion valve on listed Ford and Lincoln models

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the expansion valve/orifice tube during A/C system service, especially when the system has been opened for repairs. Verify the vehicle application by year, make, and model before installation. Proper evacuation, leak checking, and refrigerant recharge procedures are required after service.

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.
