Air Conditioner hoses

Got an 86’ f-350 that had factory air and was taken off 10 years ago. I recently hung all brackets back on, ordered a new compressor and am in the process of putting everything else “necessary” back on. Accumulator, condenser, etc. the only thing I’m having a hard time finding is the actual lines/hoses connecting all the above parts. I have seen a couple, but im not sure what each line is called, if they’re pretty much generic and order to length or what. Any ideas?

The line from the compressor to the condenser is called the discharge line, the line from the condenser to the evaporator is the liquid line, the line from the evaporator to the compressor is the suction line.

What engine is in the truck?

I selected a 460 and rockauto has a couple of hoses on their site.

Rockauto has a “refrigerant hose” and that’s it.

lmc has the “liquid” line and shows the rest of the hoses in a diagram, but are for newer trucks or different engine sizes.

I was kind of coming up the same way for my 81 with a 300 six but I going with a different compressor so don't know if stock hoses would even work?

I looked into quickly on buying hose & ends and a crimper to make my own and may still do that.

TWO different types of factory installed integral A/C systems. Note how the hoses connect to the compressor:

I'll list the sources for NOS once I know what type of A/C system the OP's truck has.

Yessir, you hit the nail on the head, 460 4x4. Green sales had NOTHING either.

I’m kinda not sure of anything at this point, it had it originally, not even sure if it was factory or dealer installed, and have the brackets still. Everything else is gone, minus the factory controls. I ordered the the compatible components off rockauto and I’m hoping to piece it all together.

How do you know since there are TWO different liquid, suction and discharge hoses?

Did you type the part numbers into Greens website? If so and you retained the hyphens, you'll get this message every time: Out Of Stock

When typing part numbers into websites, REMOVE the hyphens, type 'em like this: E4TZ19867G

I called them instead of searching the website. I tried to gain some insight on where I could find them. But the gentleman said he had nothing available for that engine, that year. I’ll try to search the website or use the part numbers to google them. But how am I to know which lines I need?

Once you know the type, let me know and I'll search for them. I've done this every day for members since 11/4/2006.

There are several different types of compressors. Here's a pic of the York type, the service valves are shown as 19752 and 19A990

The hoses that connect directly to the compressor thread onto orifices, there are no valves.
