Re: {Chrysler 300} A/C Hoses

I highly recommend the EZ-Clip hose connection system from Vintage Air Products in San Antonio, TX. I experienced hose leaks for 10 years with the crimp on fittings and had no end of trouble. Forget the $$$$ that evaporated into the atmosphere with the refrigerant!! I had a totally new Vintage Air system with additional Old Air Products Dual blower rear trunk mounted unit installed in November, 2023. I researched the hose fitting set up and hoses with the Vintage technicians and followed their advice and went with the EZ-Clip system! Very easy to install, especially not having to “clock” the hose fitting locations for the various components that require hose connections. The hoses also are barrier type design with less porosity for any refrigerant to permeate. They offer for purchase the cutting tools for the hoses and the special pliers to apply or release the hose clamps that doubly apply pressure at each hose junction fitting. When fully charged after the 2 day installation process there was no leaks whatsoever! I have been driving the C now going on 6 months with total satisfaction! Check it out and call tech support at Vintage Air. I think you will be satisfied! 300’ly, Rob Kern (enjoying year round drive time in OK due to this new hose and connection system)

James, Try https://www.classicautoair.com/. In the past I bought old a/c parts for my 57. They do make new reproduction hoses.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} A/C Hoses

Anyone have a good source for A/C hoses? I really do not want to send my old ones out to some company I have never used before. Locally in Northern California I am finding only hose houses that want to use the modern push on fittings and not crimp fittings.

Since I am doing a stock A/C with R12, I do not want any possible leaks now or in 10 years.

Anyone who has any recommendations, I would like to hear about them.

James
