Crazykidd9 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hey guys, recently I've been trying to fix my AC and I ran into a problem with the original AC hose fitting into the new compressor. With the new compressor, the flange from the hose that connects into the compressor isn't fitting. Its I guess a 'half size' flange and needs something that'll cover it completely... a 'full flange'. Anyways, I wanted to now if anyone has tried any other AC hoses WITH a full size flange that would fit the compressor properly, please let me know!!. Thanks!! https://www.flickr.com/photos/137876542@N04/28330160172/in/dateposted-public/"title="Nissan 720 AC Hose"> "https://www.flickr.com/photos/137876542@N04/28403135136/in/dateposted-public/"title="'Full size' flange"><img How it should be↑ 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Take the compressor back and take a picture of the hose connection with you. Get the correct compressor. 1 Quote Link to comment

Crazykidd9 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Your new compressor shorter length than the original??? No, the ac hose fitting for the flange doesnt fit onto the new compressor opening. Quote Link to comment
Crazykidd9 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Take the compressor back and take a picture of the hose connection with you. Get the correct compressor. Ive already been through 2 compressors. Both not fitting with the ac hose flanges. Might as well just change the hose/flange. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 There are both factory AC and add on AC so if it is not factory it can be difficult to find the correct hoses. It is sometimes easier to have a hose made to fit. 1 Quote Link to comment
oakrun Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 https://flic.kr/p/KUbr4B Try 80's sentra hose or 300zx. They have that type of hose. The compressor part number will help to find what car it came off. post it and i will tell you which car it came on 2 Quote Link to comment
Crazykidd9 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I finally found some flanges that fit and got custom hoses made, but thanks for the help!! 1 Quote Link to comment
