Not fun for me either. Customers want me to spend an hour searching for a .20 cent o-ring. Then they go and Google shop. It's like your time and effort are worth nothing.

The ones we have are the same as the ones you have.

Running off to PT. But just got off the phone with NV, and they are checking.

Seeing if I can get someone to check the NV stock. Back when we had the shop and got a fitting like that. I would place a spacer on the end and use a cutting wheel to remove a little of the end. Take off my spacer, used to cut straight and depth. Clean up the end, and always seemed to work out okay.

Is that a UAC hose?

Most likely that hose will come with o-rings. For sure, if I ship from the Texas location. I can check NV on Monday. Spoke with some top brass at the NV site. Says it should have the o-rings as well.

IMO, the only way to flush a "modern" condenser was with a closed-loop flushing machine line Hecat uses to make. A condenser should be added to all the compressor kits sold at the discount sites.

I don't know the size of the o-ring off-hand. I always just matched them up in my Master kit. Autozine and Napa are suppliers of Santech, which is one of the big companies where I still do catalog stuff. The issue is that you can't go by my year, make, or model. Kind of have to match it up.

Captured o-rings are just a little thicker. Think of it like an old A6 compressor. There are #12 o-rings for the hose connections. And #12 for the back of the compressor, which are thicker, "captured".
