95 850: cracked AC low side port

Post by CIK7 »

I thought I had run low on refrigerant. And I suppose that is accurate. I stopped at Walmart and bought a $30 can. Began to fill the low port. Then I shifted to the side and leaned over a bit for comfort. I noticed that stuff bubbling out the side of the low port. I used the scrader tool to tighten the valve. It was sort of loose. Tried again But it still leaked out. I removed the fill hose. And that stuff was bubbling out the side/neck from the first groove above the yellow o-ring. Then I noticed the low port has a slight groove at the base where it meets the main line. Is the low port removable from the main line? Do y'all have a part number?

I have had issues with the Schraeder valve leaking and had to replace it. I now do that anytime I need to have a P80 re-gassed.

I don't think the part is available separately based on the parts drawing and there is no separate part number:
