Universal Air EX10695C Block Expansion Valve

The Universal Air EX10695C is a block-style A/C expansion valve for automotive HVAC systems. It regulates refrigerant flow into the evaporator to support proper cooling performance and stable system operation.

Key Features

• Block expansion valve for A/C refrigerant metering
• Universal Air Block Expansion Valve product line
• Direct replacement-style service part for HVAC repair work
• Part number EX10695C for ordering and cross-checking

Product Details

As part of Universal Air’s Block Expansion Valve line, the EX10695C is built for vehicles that use a block-type A/C flow restrictor at the evaporator inlet. It is used in automotive air conditioning service when the original valve is restricted, leaking, or no longer controlling refrigerant flow correctly. Search terms such as A/C expansion valve replacement, block expansion valve for automotive HVAC, and EX10695C A/C valve help identify this part for repair and catalog lookup.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Weak or inconsistent cabin cooling
• Incorrect refrigerant metering at the evaporator
• Compressor cycling caused by flow control issues
• HVAC performance loss from a worn or restricted valve

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original valve style, refrigerant routing, and system configuration before installation. Replace the valve during A/C service only after confirming the vehicle uses a block expansion valve layout, and evacuate and recharge the system according to proper HVAC procedures.

Quality Assurance

Universal Air identifies this component by part number EX10695C for catalog accuracy and service matching. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s original HVAC layout before ordering.
