Description
Universal A/C block expansion valve — trucks, motor homes & Chrysler
A universal-fit block (H-block) expansion valve for trucks, motor homes and Chrysler applications. 3/8″ × 1/2″ liquid and 5/8″ × 5/8″ suction ports, R-134a, 1.5-ton rating.
Universal fit — confirm before ordering. Match all four port sizes (liquid & suction), the block pattern, and the system’s tonnage/superheat against your original block valve. Not sure? Call 480-507-2229.
The valve that controls your cooling
The expansion valve is the metering device between the high-pressure liquid line and the evaporator. It drops the refrigerant’s pressure and controls exactly how much enters the evaporator — the key to efficient, consistent cold air.
The sensing element reads the temperature of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator and feeds it back to the valve, so the valve fine-tunes flow to keep the evaporator fully fed without flooding. A worn or clogged valve shows up as weak cooling, frosting, or air that can’t hold temperature.
Know exactly what you’re ordering
The details that decide whether this part matches your system:
One valve, many applications
Universal fit
A versatile block/plate valve that cross-references many OEM block valves across trucks, RVs and cars.
Four-port block design
Combines the liquid and suction ports in one block that bolts to the evaporator for a clean, sealed connection.
Precise metering
Meters refrigerant into the evaporator and senses suction-side temperature for steady, efficient cooling.
Wide interchange
Cross-references UAC and a broad range of OEM and heavy-duty brands — see the table below.
Restores cold air
A clogged or stuck block valve is a common cause of weak cooling — replacing it brings the A/C back.
Built to spec
Manufactured to meet or exceed the original valve’s port sizes and metering specs.
