Some T shaped expansion valves had a bypass tube as a safety. I believe this is what this certain schrader is for,
I had an old Honda with this, The factory TXV had a bypass, the replacement one bought for it didnt have it and the little package of the TXV had a brass cap for the left over port in the evaporator.
The sensing tail of the TXV has no business with directly touching the gas. It is clipped onto the metal of the evap tubing.
