Do you mean the Schrader valves in the high and low ports? I had planed to swap those out & also replace the receiver drier.
no the internal metering valve that controls the pumped gas flow rate called a TVX

the schrader valve is to get gas into the system and F12 vs F134 are different to prevent
useing the wrong gas

many report propane works in some systems with the stock valve
others do not work as well

AS RANDY SAID ICE IS A TVX ISSUE
