S.U.R.&R. Expands Options for Vehicle A/C Line Repair

New Metric Fittings for Vehicles Like Honda Odyssey and Honda Pilot; Hose-to-Tube Adapters

The extensive line of assemble-by-hand S.U.R.&R. Air Conditioning Line repair solutions continues to grow. The additions include: 

· New 14.5mm Metric A/C fittings for vehicles including Honda Odyssey and Honda Pilot

· Hose-to-tube adapters (for 3/8”, 1/2 “, and 5/8” applications)

These products expand the number of vehicles and repair types covered by the company’s easy-to-use A/C line products, which deliver permanent repairs without the need for specialty tools.

The 14.5mm Metric Compression Unions and Hose to Compression Union adapters can be used to easily repair damaged line sections, failed collar connections, hose cracks, and rub marks. The Compression Block Offs make it simple to block off failed rear A/C systems impacted by damaged lines and components.

The new Hose-to-tube adapters allow for installation of a replacement Schrader valve service port within a rubber line section. These adapters must be used with an S.U.R.&R. In Line Service Port, which is sold separately.

“These new products expand S.U.R.&R. air conditioning line repair solutions to more popular vehicles than ever,” said S.U.R.&R. National Sales Manager Bob Joy. “Our A/C products are specifically designed to be easy to use, which will save time and money on installation.”

The new A/C components simplify on-the-vehicle repairs of damaged rubber and aluminum lines, as all required steps can be accomplished by hand. These S.U.R.&R. solutions deliver permanent repairs that are safe up to 600 psi and conform to SAE J2064 specifications.

Looking for One Source for Automotive Fluid Lines?

The automotive aftermarket around the world is poised for growth. A report presented recently by Zion Market Research sites a host of reasons in its overview for projecting the sector will show significant increases in the coming years: “Automotive Aftermarket: Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis, and Forecast, 2015 – 2021”

In a market where there are lots of competitors, how do repair professionals and distributors know where to turn for the best quality and value? S.U.R.&R., a subsidiary of Husky Corporation, is a leading supplier of fluid line repair kits and specialty tools for the Automotive Aftermarket Industry. S.U.R.&R. was started in 2000 by automotive repair shop owner Joseph Wathey. He understood first-hand the issues mechanics faced and knew they could use a reliable repair service for damaged fuel sending units. What started out as a small business opportunity grew into a variety of fuel line repair replacement kits as well as other solutions to help mechanics with fluid line installations.

It's one thing to read about these kits. But seeing them is another matter. So we thought it would be beneficial to share some short video overviews of  S.U.R.&R. fluid line replacement kits. The details for all of them can be found at the S.U.R.&R. web page where you can also download a complete product catalog at https://surrauto.com/wp-content/themes/SURR/PDF/SURR2016catalog.pdf

First is an overview of the S.U.R.&R. brake line repair kit and specialty tools. Each kit comes with 25 feet of ULTRABend brake line tubing, which is the highest quality tubing you can find.

It's also one thing for a company to talk about how wonderful its products are. But when you hear an auto repair professional talk about the products, that's something else as well. So here is a short clip with comments from Clete's Garage in O'Fallon, Illinois.

We invite you to learn more about the complete line of S.U.R.&R. automotive fluid line solutions and specialty tools. Call us at 1-800-390-3996. And we invite you to check out our LinkedIn page, where we post both industry and product information that we hope is beneficial to your business.
