I love how GM places the AC orifice tube at the end of a hard line. You just open it, remove the orifice, clean it or replace it, and carry on. Not all cars are so handy. My Jeep has the orifice hidden in the middle of a three foot hard line. To service it you change out the entire line. That sucks. Can I cut a hard line and then splice it back together with a compression fitting? That way I can re-locate the orifice at the end of the line like GM does. I'm not sure if a compression fitting can hold the high side pressure. I see guys and shops using them on brake lines (YIKES!) and the pressures are similar. Then there is the problem of a brass fitting on an aluminum line- corrosion potential. What do you think?
