Rear AC Port Plug

[Kilian]

Does anyone have a PN for NAPA or elsewhere for a fitting to plug the port for a rear AC line? It would be for the fitting in the hard line from condenser to receiver/drier. See photos. Thought I'd check here first before taking line in and having someone fumble through parts book for a while.

Isn’t it a Schrader valve, with an insert that screws in?

There is the port that would be the Schrader valve, but there's also this connection for rear line on a suburban etc.

I'm adding an original AC setup to a standard cab and the only line available new for the condenser to R/D connection is for a suburban. Lines were missing or damaged on the parts trucks I salvaged the other AC parts from.

I’m in the same boat. Looking to order this line, but can’t find a block of plate/plug. Did you have any luck

Not yet, so there's still hope. I have to assume that some form of plug exists for blocking this port.

What size threads are that fitting? Probably metric but thread pitch needs to be determined.
Or look up Dorman Line Terminator Kits 801-019 and 801-020 see if those can help.
They make these plugs for the A/C systems to block off rear A/C on dual A/C systems and other purposes.

I can find them for 1996-2000. Nothing advertised for our trucks.

Found this part on an Amazon review. Looks like it’ll fit. Part # 08-3081

Is it available on Amazon? I couldn't find it.

No, I found it on Wofford Truck parts. It’s about $9 bucks for the part and 16 to ship. But worth it if it works. I just ordered it and the line. Fingers crossed.

I can Confirm this part works for the rear AC port to block it off
