How to install the A/C Accumulator (ACDelco P/N 15-1697) to the A/C evaporator tube on GMC Savana 2500?

Question

Accepted Answer

Before setting the A/C Accumulator (ACDelco P/N 15-1697) between the condenser and expansion (orifice) tube you must recover refrigerant from the a/c system. Cut the marked section of condenser tube using a tubing cutter after marking it 20 mm (0.75 in) from the bend and another 50.8 mm (2 in) beyond. You should use a tubing cutter to cut the marked condenser tube section. Keep all metal burrs outside the tube space when you execute this process. Place all burrs from the condenser tube away before removing the A/C Accumulator's nuts, ferrules and o-rings. Install ferrules and nuts onto both sides of the condenser tube without adding the o-rings at present. Place ferrules on condenser tube with small inner end facing nuts while mounting the A/C Accumulator onto the tube with the flow arrow pointing toward the evaporator. Tighten the nuts on the accumulator by applying torque of 15 n.m (11 lb ft) while holding the condenser tube inside the accumulator. After securing the nuts on the A/C Accumulator reverse their removal to put on the o-rings to the condenser tube and reinstall the nuts back to the accumulator while tightening them to 15 n.m (11 lb ft). The last step involves reattaching the condenser tube to the condenser unit before conducting a/c system evacuation and recharging along with using the halogen leak detector(J39400-A) for fitting tests.
