A/C Hoses and Fittings for Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Chevrolet is a manufacturer known for producing cars and trucks, including the Silverado 1500 pickup. Age, debris, fluids, heat, and miles driven can damage or wear down parts within the engine compartment of a truck. When A/C hoses and fittings for Chevrolet Silverado 1500 break down, replacements can be found for all vehicle models.

A/C designs vary based on the make, model, and year of the cars or trucks in question. In the case of the Silverado manufactured by Chevrolet, the pickup contains an orifice tube A/C system. You can tell this by the presence of the accumulator and orifice tube mechanisms within the A/C. These components and hoses of the A/C form a closed-loop hydraulic system, recycling the coolant and A/C oil. Once this is understood, you will know where to look for hoses and fittings throughout the engine compartment on your pickup. These locations on your Chevrolet include:

• The hose assembly between the compressor and condenser.
• The hose fitting between the condenser and orifice tube. There will be an in-line filter located in this section.
• The hose assembly between the orifice tube and evaporator core.
• The fittings between the evaporator core and the accumulator.
• The hose assembly between the accumulator and compressor.

The A/C hoses designed for cars and trucks are built to last the lifetime of the vehicle. There are many factors that can influence the life of an A/C hose, including damage from oil and other fluids, heat, and the mileage on the automobile. Mechanics in the industry note that they begin to replace aged A/C hoses after 8-10 years of use, regardless of the miles driven. Hose fittings should be inspected as part of a general maintenance routine, which is usually based on the number of miles put on the cars or trucks in question.

There are a few symptoms that may indicate that one of the hose fittings on your Chevrolet requires replacement. The following list describes those symptoms that signal possible issues with hose fittings. Should a hose need replacing, fittings are available as OEM from Chevrolet or as aftermarket parts designed for the A/C system in your Chevy.
