orifice tube

I need to replace the orifice tube on a 1999 F-150 5.4L. I can not locate this filter.

It's not a filter. It's a tube that runs from the driver side exhaust header to a EGR valve. Also has 2 smaller tubes coming off of it going to the DPFE sensor. It very rarely fails unless it develops holes from rust. If needed it could be cleaned out. Is the truck throwing a code?

The orfice tube is in the high pressure line on the a/c, usually near the bottom of the evaporator.
