When Replacing Parts On A/C System

  1. Never open or loosen a connection before discharging the system.
  2. Seal the open fittings of components with a cap or plug immediately to prevent intrusion of moisture or dust.
  3. Do not remove the sealing caps from a replacement component until it is ready to be installed.
  4. Before connecting an open fitting, always install a new sealing ring. Coat the fitting and seal with refrigerant oil before making the connection.
  5. The air conditioning evaporator (cooling coil) shall never be repaired or replaced with one removed from a used or salvaged vehicle and that new replacement A/C evaporators shall be certified (and labeled) as meeting SAE Standard J2842.
  6. In the case of all vehicles being serviced and identified as having a leaking evaporator, the leak shall not be repaired and the system shall only be serviced by replacing the leaking evaporator with a new evaporator meeting SAE J2842 requirements. An evaporator from a salvaged vehicle air conditioning system shall not be repaired or removed from any vehicle air conditioning system with the intention of using it again in the same or a different vehicle. However, if the evaporator assembly includes a refrigerant control device (TXV/Block valve) and is operational, re-use of the refrigerant control device is permitted.
