Because you're blocking off or terminating the line at this point, there's a 1cap. We do a lot of air conditioning work, and I've used a lot of the splice fittings, which have two caps because you're repairing a break. They do a fantastic job.
I put these in the front of the house. Underneath the passenger seat, to be precise. When I replaced the refrigerant, they began to leak. These are not something I would recommend. Get o-ring fittings for your line terminations. rings.
If you're blocking two lines, you'll need a 5/8 (16mm) and a 5/16 (8mm) terminator. There are two different kits.

I think. On my 2011 Dodge Durango's rear A/C lines, I installed this kit (along with a 5/8 version). Cut the lines near the transfer case and follow the directions to install the terminations. Take it easy and cautiously. AC lines are under 40 PSI of pressure, so be careful if you cut into one that hasn't been fully discharged. You'll want a nice, clean, uniform cut, so use a proper tubing cutter to cut the lines. With a Q-tip, smooth the edges and clean the insides of the pipes. tip. Installation was a breeze, and the terminations fit snugly and are working well so far. My third-row passengers will be hot this summer, but this is a brilliant repair idea that will undoubtedly save me a lot of money. It is highly recommended.
It's 1" and 7/8" for the 3/8". Instead of a tube cutter, a hacksaw blade will do. Although box and open end wrenches would be ideal, I was able to complete the task with two 8" adjustable wrenches. 18 ft. lbs. of torque is recommended. a weight of 20 ft lbs. A 1" socket is required on the bolt side, but I found it difficult to get used to using a torque wrench on the bolt end and an adjustable on the nut end. It had a shaky feel to it. To get a feel for 20 feet, you might want to practice on something. lbs. Simply use regular wrenches in that case. I think I went a little too far. After I add refrigerant, I'll have more to say. After cutting the tubes, I needed to figure out a way to support them.
It didn't work out!.
These were used to plug a hole in an SUV's rear air conditioning system that was leaking. They functioned flawlessly and kept the AC pressure at a comfortable level.
I would strongly suggest it. Simple to set up. Sealing skills are excellent!.
great.
The rear air conditioner in my 2007 Town and Country had a gas leak. I easily installed the rear lines after cutting them at a workable location near the front of the car. The air conditioner in the back seat has been turned off. The air conditioner in the front is holding a charge and is performing admirably.
