Has anyone every changed out their Orifice tube only to find it stuck and not be able to get it out ? After several attempt and pulling out a few pieces, still have about 1/2 of it stuck in the line. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,,,,,,,,,Thanks

 

I think under normal circumstances, it isn't a 'user serviceable part'..... and you replace the entire line.

 

Wasn't for sure about that, but i did buy just an Orifice tube and the pipe does come apart were it is located. But i couldn't figure out how the pipes come apart going in to the fire wall....

 

Oh o.k found a video on a tool to use on those......now to check it out

 

HeyYou, i think you were right about that line, i tried a few more methods on my line, but then i found a new line with Orifice already in on Ebay for 26 bucks.....dohhhh, and all that time wasted......lol

 

 

That certainly makes life easier. And cheap too..... Surprisingly so.

 

Now you know. A year from now, someone will have the same problem and you can tell them the solution.

 

How funny the orifice tube yes can be had for $26 but the small plastic valve cost $1 or less at your local auto parts store.
To get it out use air pressure or if you have good water pressure on your house water line that has worked for me.

I've replaced my valve two times

and yes they are made to be replaced the problem is they tend to get pushed up the line after a few years of use.

so either $26 or $1 a little work saves you $25

Now that I think on how I did it I used a high pressure water sprayer that thing blew out with a pop.
