Where is the Orifice Tube?

[MSheff]

I was idling with the AC on last weekend and BOOM, a hose on my AC burst on the high side. After looking over all the hoses I decided to replace them all. So, I took them all off and can't find an orifice tube anywhere? There is supposed to be one, right? Am I just missing it? Any help would be appreciated, it's hot out there!

It is in the low pressure. You can't remove & replace it. It's on the metal part near the VAM you'll notice a bulge in the metal.

I took a pic below of what I think you describe. If you can't replace it, is there some stuff you can shoot down there to clean it?

Yes, the high pressure liquid line w/orifice can be purchased at you local parts house, I have gotten them at both O'Reilly's Auto Parts and Auto Zone.

Nitrogen is used to flush the lines when doing service work on the AC.
