  5. Install the orifice tube (1) to the evaporator tube (2).
    1. Coat the O-ring seal with 525 viscosity refrigerant oil.
    2. Insert the long screen end of the new orifice (1) into the evaporator tube (2).
  6. NOTE: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

    Tighten:  Tighten the fitting to 25 N.m (18 lb ft).
