Can you identify this part

Need help finding out where I can purchase this A/C part. I am looking to purchase the high and low port connectors. Thanks in advance.

Are you wanting to replace the parts you show in the pic?  If so those hose ends are crimped onto the hoses.  If you are anywhere around East Texas we use East Texas Auto Air & Glass as they should be able to crimp you on some new ends. Or are you looking for a set of 134a gages?

Thank you for your reply Mike. I am looking to purchase these fittings so I have the on hand when taking the coach to MOT in February. I will have them crimp them on then. So, right now, I am looking for a place i can purchase these fittings for now.

 If you do not want to take the hoses off to put new fittings on them assuming they are long enough to do so. You can have new fittings put on short hoses and cut your hoses after the system is empty and use splices sold by all auto truck a/c shops that use hose clamps to splice together. I have used these splices on my r-12 system which has very expensive Freon and they have not lost a charge in over 5 years now

This is exactly what I was planning to do. Right now, I need to identify these fittings and purchase them myself. Then I will have them crimped on shorter hoses which will be fitted with inline connectors to the original hoses. I have not been able to find a supplier for these two fittings or even what they are called. Thanks

Have you called an auto truck a/c repair shop? I bought mine at a local shop in the San Fernando valley to repair my Monaco. They crimped short hoses on while I waited.

These two parts were fabricated for Foretravel. I have found a shop in Houston who will fabricate two more of these units as well as supply me with all the other fittings needed. This way I will walk into MOT for my scheduled repair work with all the parts needed. I will have them pull the condenser out and I will run it to Houston to a shop to inspect and internally clean the unit. The evaporator was already done and that evaporator is only one of three ever made for Foretravel. The other two are in the build before mine and after mine. With all new fittings, new A/C compressor, drier, and clean condenser, I should have solved the issue hopefully.

Hmmmm. So I guess that means I've got that evaporator in mine, right Bob? Good to know.

I'll probably end up piggybacking on your idea before my next service at MOT.
