Dorman Announces New A/C Line Repair Kit

The new Dorman OE Solutions A/C Line Repair Kit (#800-600) saves the time and expense associated with complete A/C Line Assembly replacement by giving service dealers the ability to repair only the damaged section of the A/C line.

The new Dorman OE Solutions A/C Line Repair Kit (#800-600) saves the time and expense associated with complete A/C Line Assembly replacement by giving service dealers the ability to repair only the damaged section of the A/C line. This brand new 64-piece Repair Kit allows A/C line repairs to be performed “on-the-vehicle,” as an alternative to removing the entire line. The 800-600 Kit provides a solution to replacing costly OE lines, that are often difficult to install and time consuming. This new kit also ensures that service dealers will have the part they need on hand, eliminating wasted bay time spent waiting on an A/C line delivery.

Why is the 800-600 a better repair solution than conventional A/C Line replacement?

  • More Repair Options – The 800-600 A/C Line Repair Kit offers solutions for a wide variety of repairs, reducing the need for shops to order A/C lines as the sole form of repair.
  • Complete Essentials – The Kit has 49 fittings and all corresponding O-rings (where needed), all completely replenishable.
  • Helpful Tools – The compact “close quarters” tool has been specifically designed to make it easy to perform repairs on-the-car. Ratcheting Tubing Cutter design allows A/C line to be cut while still on the vehicle, eliminating the need to remove entire line during repair.

800-600 Kit Contents

  • Compact tool with yokes (5/16" through 3/4")
  • Ratcheting tubing cutter
  • Sealant
  • 49 Repair fittings, unions and lines:
– Unions;
– 90-Degree elbow unions;
– Female external O-ring repair ends;
– Male external E-ring repair ends;
– Male internal O-ring repair ends;
– High and low side service port unions;
– GM condenser repair lines, upper and lower; and
