Peanut Fitting

PEANUT FITTING







The A/C condenser core uses the peanut-shaped refrigerant fittings instead of spring lock couplings.
- The male and female blocks of the peanut fitting are retained with a nut.
- An O-ring seal is installed around the tube on the male block.
- The female block is welded to the tube and is not adjustable.
- Support the female fitting with a wrench to prevent twisting of the tubes.
- When correctly assembled, the male and female fittings should be flush.
- Use only the O-ring seals listed in the Ford Master Parts Catalog for the peanut fitting.
