I probably could find something there but would take a lot of time sampling each and every fitting. So I thought if i make the 2 condenser fittings and the tees universal AN type, it would be easier to add anything to the existing system.
You the material wrapped around the #10 hose from evap to compressor?
So I decided to retain stock lines and just teeing off of it or adapting/welding an fittings where possible. Drier remains stock location. Atleast for now.
Here the condenser inlet with #8 AN fitting.
Or just calling them would probably get you the answer a lot quicker is kinda what I was thinking. You have to call to get a price anyway.

No, it's like a foam, about 1/8" thick. All along the driver's fender and around the trinary valve by the battery. It's a foam insulation that needs to be on the hard line prior to braising.

Very nice. So you can use those adapter lines to your OEM blocks. Perfect!
The average joe, not interested in rear evap, could just do that and be good to go then? I may end up returning my Nissens (or sell it to someone here in town) and go with that SuperCool unit. Very compelling.
You're planning on hauling down the OEM lines from elsewhere in the system to the shop to have the tee's braised in then?
The lines are coming from my dads cruiser that we're experimenting on. If this is successful then maybe i could do my other 2.
Just bought the rear unit plus wiring harness. Here's the damage.

The guy at proair is suggesting to use burgeflex hose and fittings. They use pex crimpers for it. Crimper is about $20 at home depot. Fool proof vs the traditional crimp he says.

That's not too bad pricewise considering the wiring harness is part of it. Are those ProAir part numbers? Time to do some research!
PEX crimpers will work on the tri-groove hose fittings for the AC system? That's very interesting. Is the traditional crimp difficult to accomplish or is it just the tool is so pricey?
I read up on the ProAir and Burgaflex/Burgaclip products. VERY COOL. I'm not even considering the older crimp style now. The fittings are very interesting design. 2018 here we come!

LOL, I can't find ANY of those parts on their site except the Evaporator...which is too wide to fit next to my fridge.
Did they advise you on these parts or did you pick them out?

I just came across this on the Burgaflex NA web site: Burgaflex
"We have a full range of hoses and fittings available for the transport refrigeration - the car applications - the truck applications - the off-the-road applications and last but not least for the bus applications.
Our fittings are available both in the field attachable as well as crimp version and can be supplied in the flare - o'ring - metric and Japanese configuration.
On customer demand we can produce any special fitting as well as steel and/or aluminium manipulated tube."
Maybe they have a Japanese fitting that would fit to help get the tee's integrated.

I've been reading up on hard lines vs. hose for rear evaporator lines. Aluminum can corrode and form holes, I've not seen that with rubber hose. The new multi-layer hoses seem very durable. Maybe provide additional protection behind the wheels and cover with reflective insulation around the cats and other hot spots. I just found a replacement set for a Chrysler New Yorker that had original rear air and this is what they look like. BTW, these are $200 so that price for the custom line seems pretty in line.
Ill probably exchage the wiring harness for fittings and hoses. We will just make our own wiring. This is a really expensive day. Lol.
Here's the tee with #6AN fitting on the driver's side just above the fuse box. There's a hole beside the fuse box where I intended to route the hose down.
Here's the tee with a #10AN fitting. Located several inches below the line that exits the front evap. Passenger side.
Here's the other cutoff from the old condenser welded with #6AN fitting. This is connected to the tube right before the dryer.

Very nice, I like the progress! I'd like to see that high pressure tee near the compressor. I wonder if that's an appropriate place.
Are you going to run rubber hose or go for the hard lines for the rear?

I can't visualize how that's going to attach to the condenser. Is there a 90 elbow coming off the condenser?
