Peanut Fitting
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The A/C condenser core and the connection between the receiver drier manifold assembly (outlet) and the TXV manifold and tube assembly (inlet) use the peanut-shaped refrigerant fittings instead of spring lock couplings.
- The male and female blocks of the peanut fitting are retained with a nut.
- An O-ring seal is installed around the tube on the male block.
- When correctly assembled, the male and female fittings should be flush.
- Use only the O-ring seals listed in the Ford Master Parts Catalog for the peanut fitting.
