Keep liquid refrigerant metered correctly into the evaporator with the DENSO A/C Orifice Tube 475-4107, the expansion device that divides the high (discharge) and low (suction) sides of your air conditioning system. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2001-2007 Ford Escape, 1994 Ford Mustang and 2000-2007 Ford Focus, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
Orifice tubes and other expansion devices are critical to how an A/C system works. If the calibration is wrong, the evaporator may stop exchanging heat properly or even freeze up, and that can lead to costly damage. DENSO has decades of experience engineering A/C components and systems for the world's automakers, and it can supply the correct expansion device for your vehicle.
- Function: Separates the high and low sides of the A/C system and regulates the flow of liquid refrigerant through the evaporator.
- Length: 87.00 mm
- Tube outside diameter: 9.600 mm
- Screen micron rating: 2
- Color: Orange
The listed applications use one orifice tube. Country of origin: United States.
Signs this part may need replacing include reduced cooling from the vents or icing at the evaporator. Other A/C faults can cause these symptoms too, so diagnose the system before you replace parts.
This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the DENSO 475-4107 orifice tube do?
It separates the high (discharge) and low (suction) sides of the A/C system and regulates the flow of liquid refrigerant through the evaporator.
Will this orifice tube fit my 2001-2007 Ford Escape?
Yes. The 2001-2007 Ford Escape is a listed application, and so is the 2000-2007 Ford Focus. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your vehicle.
What are the specifications of the 475-4107?
It is 87.00 mm long with a 9.600 mm tube outside diameter. It has a screen micron rating of 2 and is orange.
Why does orifice tube calibration matter?
An incorrectly calibrated expansion device can stop the evaporator from exchanging heat properly or let it freeze up. That can cause expensive damage.
How is an A/C orifice tube installed?
The A/C system has to be opened, so the refrigerant must be recovered with proper equipment. The system is then evacuated and recharged. Follow the vehicle service information.
