gpd 3411408 A/C POA Valve Expansion Valve / Orifice Tube

The gpd 3411408 is an A/C Pilot Operated Absolute (POA) valve — also commonly referred to as an expansion valve or orifice tube — designed to meter and slow refrigerant flow before it enters the evaporator. This controlled pressure drop maximizes the refrigerant's cooling capacity and is a critical component of a properly functioning automotive air conditioning system. gpd recommends replacing the expansion valve or orifice tube every time the A/C system is serviced to ensure reliable, efficient performance.

Key Features:

• Functions as expansion valve and orifice tube in one assembly
• Female threads facing forward for correct orientation
• Three-port configuration (ports facing up)
• Bleed line positioned on the right side
• Converts system to a clutch cycling configuration

Engineered as a quality replacement to restore proper refrigerant metering and cooling efficiency. Verify fitment against the original part configuration before installation — refer to product images to confirm port layout and thread orientation match your application.
