where does orfice tube go show diagram
This year does not use an orifice tube but a expansion valve instead. This is located under the hood on the passenger side where the Refrigerant lines go into the evaporator under cowl (dash area) looks like an aluminum block. If it did have an orifice tube it would be located in the same place only inside the high side refrigerant line, or the smaller of the two lines and can be unbolted and separated to get to the orifice tube.
Why, did you break your tube? The best way to fix this is to go to a salvage yard and get another tube. The diameter size of the tube is about 1/2".
It is located inside the liquid line and you have two options , 1. replace the line along with orifice tube. 2. Go to ac supply and get a kit that allows you to cut old section out and install new section with applicable tube.
The orifice tube is between the condenser at the radiator, and the evaporator at the firewall. The O-ringed short end goes toward the evaporator/ firewall, the longer tapered end is toward the condenser / radiator.
no it turns out in a decimal
The manufacturer doesn't "necessarily" recommend flushing this system. They go on to state that since it is very unlikely to that a flush would completely clean the condenser, it should be changed along with the compressor, accumulator and orifice tube; in the event of a compressor failure. (When compressors fail they tend to send debris throughout the AC system, it can and will get caught in the small orifices of the condenser evaporator, accumulator and orifice tube) However, while you have the AC lines, orifice tube (removed), accumulator and evaporator disconnected; use compressed air (from a shop compressor) to blow out each line as well as the evaporator and condenser.

Where is the orifice tube on a 95 mercury villager I am posting this for a 1993 Mercury Villager WITH rear AC. The orifice tube on a 1993 Mercury Villager WITH rear AC, is located under the van, on the driver's side, directly under the rear of the drivers seat. Jack up the van on the Driver's side. Put jack stands under the car for safety. Under the car, you will see multiple large AC hoses running from the front passenger side, to the rear drivers side on the bottom of the frame. Two hoses go up into the car from underneath on the driver's side. They go into the van just about where the seat directly behind the driver would be located (they go into the rear AC control panel). Both hoses have a snap ring connection that you can identify. The smaller hose (high pressure) will have another snap ring type connection about 6 inches from where it goes into the car from underneath. Unsnap that metal piece (the short one with two connections). You can now remove the metal piece which looks like a "J" about 7 inches long. There are two bolts that hold the hoses in place and a bracket, it is easier if you remove the two bolts to take some tension off the hose. This is all done from underneath the car. The long part of the "J" will have a crimp about 4" down from the opening. Look down into that side of the metal tube and you will see the orifice tab which is located about 2 inches into the tube. You will need a pair of long needle nose pliars to pull out the orifice. Be sure and clean the inside of the tube that holds the orifice, with AC cleaning solution before replacing the orifice. An indicator of a clogged orifice will be AC oil pouring out of the tube that goes into the car. a blocked orifice will stop oil from circulating back to the compressor and will destroy the compressor. The parts listing shows ONE orifice, so that should be the only one. Apparently the cold gas must go through the rear AC evaporator before it goes through the front one, and then back to the compressor suction. This ONLY applies to 1993 Mercury Villager WITH rear AC. If you do not have rear AC - this does not apply to your Villager. Is it asking TOO MUCH that car companies add to the R134 capacity sticker on the inside of the engine ccompartment that also says "orifice tube location"and then tells you where it is located? This is not the first time I have looked for a day or more for the orifice tube and IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FORD. This only applies to 1993 Mercury Villager with REAR AC. The orifice tube is located under the car, on the driver's side, directly under the rear AC control panel. Looking under the car, you will see two AC hoses going up into the passenger compartment on the driver's side. The smaller hose will have another snap fitting about 6 inches down from where that hose snaps next to the other hose. MAKE SURE THE SYSTEM HAS NO GAS IN IT. Remove two bolts that help hold the two hoses to the frame ( in plain sight). Using the snap fitting tool, unsnap the top of the smaller hose, turn the metal tube, then unsnap the next connection (a type of splice into the tube) and pull the entire metal tube out for easy access to the orifice tube. In the metal tube (about 7" long shaped like a "J". There is a crimp on the longest part. Look down into the hole on the side with the crimp, you will see the orifice tube. It is WAY down in there and hard to get to. You will need a special tool. Craftsman makes a special needle nose pliar ( part number 9 45661) that is really long and thin, and you can remove the tube with those instead of buying the expensive tool. They cost $9.00 and of course come with lifetime warranty. The FRONT is controlled by an expansion valve block which you see behind the accumulator in the engine compartment in plain site with hoses going in and coming out. The orifice valve is what gets clogged, the expansion valves are usually fine. Hope that helps.
