Keep liquid refrigerant metered precisely into the evaporator with the DENSO rear A/C Expansion Valve 475-2001, a TXV-type valve that regulates refrigerant flow according to temperature and pressure. It is a direct-fit replacement for many listed models, among them the 1986-1989 Honda Accord, 1999-2008 Ford E-350 Super Duty and 2003-2007 Ford E-150. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
If a stuck or failed expansion valve is behind weak cooling, frost on A/C components or changing vent temperatures, this valve replaces it. Diagnose the system before replacing parts. Recover and recharge the refrigerant with proper equipment, following the vehicle service information. The listed applications use one valve. Country of origin: China.

What does an A/C expansion valve do?
It meters liquid refrigerant into the evaporator based on temperature and pressure. It also separates the high (discharge) side of the A/C system from the low (suction) side.
Is this the right expansion valve for a Honda Accord?
It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1989 Honda Accord. The Buyer's Guide tab shows every listed vehicle.
Does it fit the Ford E-350 Super Duty and Ford E-150?
Yes. It is listed for the 1999-2008 Ford E-350 Super Duty and the 2003-2007 Ford E-150.
What are signs the expansion valve may need replacing?
Warm air from the vents, frost or icing on A/C components, and cooling that comes and goes may be signs of a failed valve. Other faults cause these too, so diagnose the system first.
What type of valve is this, and how many do I need?
It is a TXV-type expansion valve, and the listed applications use one. Installing it requires recovering and recharging the refrigerant with proper A/C equipment.
