In an orifice tube A/C system, the orifice tube sits in the liquid line and meters the refrigerant flowing to the evaporator. This kit is designed for repairing the liquid line at that point.
Signs the liquid line may need repair include refrigerant leaks at the line or its fittings and weak or no cooling from the vents. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts. Opening the A/C system requires recovering the refrigerant first, and crimp connections need the proper crimping tool, so follow the vehicle service information.
