Egelhof expansion valve, any issue?

[rnln]

I am looking to replace and see that there are 2 on this web site. Anyone use the Egelhof one for $32? Any issue finding the 4mm o-ring?
Thanks.

no one has this after market expansion valve? Everyone is going for the OE one?

You might find the the Egelhof is the oem valve.

When selecting a valve (somewhat like selecting an injector)
you are looking for tonnage capacity and superheat setting.
The two valves you are looking at probably have the same
tonnage, and the superheat won't be a concern considering
there is over 10 feet of hose between the evaporator outlet and
the compressor inlet.

I put the valve on order. Will a kit of green AC o rings from the auto parts store have the o rings to fit the expansion valve? Will the 4mm o ring be there? If not, where can I buy them? I understand the valve from our host does not come with the o rings. Thanks, Nick

I bought some from one shop, and some more from another shop, then some more. At the end, I bought the whole big box from a local parts store. I don't know the size. I just try each size on each hose end.
