Detailed Description

The Universal Air EX10166C block expansion valve is used in the air conditioning system to regulate refrigerant flow into the evaporator. Proper refrigerant metering is critical for stable vent temperatures, consistent cooling performance, and correct system operation. This part number, EX10166C, is cataloged for Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mitsubishi Galant, and Mitsubishi Endeavor models across the listed year ranges.

The Block Expansion Valve product line identifies this as a block-style A/C metering component rather than a universal service item. For buyers searching for a Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C expansion valve, Mitsubishi Galant block expansion valve, or Mitsubishi Endeavor HVAC flow restrictor, EX10166C provides a fitment-specific replacement reference.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring refrigerant metering when the original valve is restricted or worn
• Addressing weak cooling output from an A/C system
• Correcting uneven evaporator performance caused by flow control issues
• Replacing a leaking or contaminated expansion valve during HVAC service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, and model against the fitment list before ordering. This part is listed for Mitsubishi Eclipse, Galant, and Endeavor applications with position shown as N/A. During A/C service, inspect related components such as the evaporator, lines, seals, and refrigerant condition so the replacement valve is installed into a clean system.

Quality Assurance

Universal Air identifies EX10166C as a Block Expansion Valve for the listed Mitsubishi applications. Confirm the part number EX10166C and vehicle fitment details before installation to ensure the correct A/C service part is selected.
