It mounts in the liquid line with 5/8-inch and 3/4-inch fittings and a sensing bulb capillary tube (the 'wire') on top. The valve regulates refrigerant flow into the rear evaporator to maintain proper superheat. Replace it when A/C performance is poor, the valve is stuck open or closed, or the system is being overhauled.
