Fittings & "O" Rings

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 275 other vehicles, including the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo V70, and 2001 Volvo V40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

All R-134a based A/C systems use 1/2" - 16 ACME threaded fittings (identifiable by square threads) and quick-connect service couplings. See Fig 1. Besides the use of these fittings, most manufacturers will use Green colored "O" rings in R-134a systems.
