Refrigerant Circuit Connections with Valve for Switches
Note
Switch pressures, removing and installing switches as well as switch arrangement and version. Refer to vehicle specific refrigerant circuit → Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning; Rep. Gr.87; System Overview - Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific repair manual).
A - Connection (soldered in)
B - O-ring seal
C - Valve (with O-ring seal)
Note
To remove and install the valve insert -C- when the refrigerant circuit is discharged, use, for example, an adapter from the Refrigerant Sockets -T10364- (for the tightening specification. Refer to → Chapter "Connections with Schrader Valve (Needle Valve)").
