Expansion Valve Size
 
This weekend I'll be converting my 87 300D from R134a back to R12. While double checking all of the items that I'll need, I noticed that the new expansion valve I ordered has a R134a label on it. Isn't a different valve used for each refridgerant? I can't seem to find part numbers for different valves for R12/R134a. Any advice from the A/C gurus would be appreciated.

Hey,
For what it's worth, I was told by an Indy just yesterday that they are selling the same expansion valve for both 134 and R-12 systems.
The evaporator working pressures are almost identical. It's the condensing pressures that are so much different.

That's about all you can get these days. It will work fine.

Good luck,
