    Check the details of the compressor and take an educated guess.

    Choose an expansion valve with interchangeable cores ORIFICE ORIFICE ORIFICE, that way it's less of a trauma if you get it wrong.

    Good luck


    Sorry, just reread my message and realised my mistake, hopefully you understood what I meant.
