I am changing over my DPD dealer installed system from R12 to R134a. I will be replacing the York compressor with a Sanden 507, installing new barrier hoses, new condenser, new condenser fan, and new drier. I plan on keeping and flushing the evaporator coil. Does anyone know which model/type thermal expansion valve I should be using for the 134a system?

@ClayPerrine I always thought those were universal except for the length of the capillary tube??? No? SAE vs Metric? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I think the threads are a standard, but it can have different fittings (o-ring/flare) and if it has or does not have a sensor bulb or capillary tube.

If I have to buy one for an aftermarket AC system, I always go to the AC shop and have them match it up.
