requirements of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a)
recovery equipment]. Ventilate work area before resuming service if accidental system discharge
occurs. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.

• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling recharging equipment to cap-

ture the refrigerant each time an air conditioning system is discharged.

• Wear always eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air

conditioning system.

• Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52

°

C (126

°

F).

• Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; Place the bottom of the container in a warm

pail of water if container warming is required.

• Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant displaces oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo-

cation.

• Never pressure test or leakage test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-

tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a)
have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause
injury or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refriger-
ant manufacturers.

Refrigerant Connection

INFOID:0000000005246320

A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
• Expansion valve to evaporator
• Refrigerant pressure sensor to liquid tank

ABOUT ONE-TOUCH JOINT

Description

• One-touch joints are pipe joints which do not require tools during piping connection.
• Unlike conventional connection methods using union nuts and flanges, controlling tightening torque at con-

nection point is not necessary.

• Use a disconnector when removing a pipe joint.
COMPONENT PARTS

FUNCTIONS OF COMPONENT PARTS

1

Pipe (Male-side)

• Retains O-rings.
• Retains garter spring in cage (A).

2

Garter spring

Anchors female-side piping.

3

Indicator ring

When connection is made properly, this is ejected from male-side piping. (This part is no longer nec-
essary after connection.)

HAC-166

< PRECAUTION >

[AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]

PRECAUTIONS

NOTE:
• Garter spring cannot be removed from cage of male-side piping.
• Indicator ring remains near piping connection point, however, this is not a malfunction. (This is to check pip-

ing connection during factory assembly.)

REMOVAL

1.

Clean piping connection point, and set a disconnector.

2.

Slide disconnector in axial direction of piping, and stretch garter spring with tapered point of disconnector.

3.

Slide disconnector farther so that inside diameter of garter spring becomes larger than outside diameter of
female-side piping flare. Then male-side piping can be disconnected.

INSTALLATION

1.

Clean piping connection points, and insert male-side piping into female-side piping.

2.

Push inserted male-side piping harder so that female-side piping flare stretches garter spring.

3.

Garter spring seats on flare if inside diameter of garter spring becomes larger than outside diameter of
female-side piping flare. Then, it fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare to
anchor piping connection point.
NOTE:
When garter spring seats on flare, and fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare,
it clicks.

CAUTION:

4

O-ring

Seals connection point. (Not reusable)

5

Pipe (Female-side)

• Seals connection by compressing O-rings.
• Anchors piping connection using flare (B) and garter spring.

• Female-side piping connection point is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side pip-

ing straight in axial direction.

• Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
• After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connec-

tion does not come loose.

PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION:

The new and former refrigerant connections use different O-ring configurations. Never confuse O-
rings since they are not interchangeable. Refrigerant may leak at the connection if a wrong O-ring is
installed.
