Description
SD7H15 2-groove V-belt A/C compressor — Kenworth & Peterbilt
An SD7H15-style heavy-duty A/C compressor and the standard replacement for thousands of V-belt Peterbilt and Kenworth trucks. It runs a 2-groove V-belt 125 mm clutch and the “GQ” lateral pad (block-style) head with side-exit ports that bolt straight to Paccar manifold lines, on a long ear mount. Replaces Sanden 4696, 4041, and 4426.
V-belt (2-groove) version. This unit is for standard 1/2″ V-belt drives. If your truck uses a serpentine belt, this is not the right part — you need part #204-1752 (6-groove serpentine). Not sure which you have? Call 480-507-2229 and we’ll help you identify it.

Complete technical specs
Install it right — protect the warranty
Commercial trucks have large A/C systems, so a thorough clean-up matters. Follow these steps to keep the new unit covered.
Confirm belt & head
Verify V-belt 2-groove drive and the GQ lateral-pad head. Serpentine trucks need #204-1752.
Flush the system
Flush the condenser and lines to clear old oil and debris from any prior failure.
Renew components
Replace the receiver-drier and expansion valve — required to keep debris from voiding your warranty.
Set oil & evacuate
It ships pre-filled with oil — set the correct total system oil, pull a deep vacuum, then charge R134a.
Recommended upgrade: Consider Fluoro-Dye Retrolube POE Oil (861-2112) during install — a premium lubricant with integrated UV leak-detection dye for easier troubleshooting.
