SUBARU3 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Does anyone know where I can locate the correct schrader valves for a 1991 Legacy's AC service valves? There are actually 2 valves in the low side service port. I have a continuing leak from this port. I cannot locate any part #s for these. Thoughts?

GeneralDisorder Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Not sure on the shaders themselves - you are talking about the valve core yes? You can bypass this situation quickly and easily by installing R134 retrofit valves. You just screw them onto the existing R12 fittings after you remove the old valve cores. Then you just use R134 hoses for charging with your choice of refrigerant. GD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Unfortunately, I've taken them into the store and matched them up. Tried to find them and start a thread about part numbers for them, but never got any traction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairtax4me Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Napa usually has a selection of various AC service valves. R-134 adapters are also an easy fix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why there are 2 schraders, one original and one in the conversion valve. I will replace the conversion valves. Time will tell!
