The BT5-5597 Seltec Inverted Vertical O-Ring Manifold is a compressor manifold for compatible mobile A/C applications.
It is designed for use where an inverted vertical 3/4 in. x 7/8 in. O-ring fitting layout is required.
This manifold is identified as a Style E Seltec manifold.
It is used when the compressor head, fitting orientation, and hose routing match this configuration.
As a result, it is a useful replacement manifold for compatible Seltec compressor service applications.
Function and Performance
A compressor manifold connects the A/C compressor to the refrigerant hose connections.
It provides the port interface between the compressor body and the system plumbing.
The BT5-5597 manifold is listed with an inverted vertical O-ring 3/4 in. x 7/8 in. configuration.
The supplied data also notes a horizontal O-ring 3/4 in. x 7/8 in. fitting angle/type.
Because the supplied fitment language includes both inverted vertical and horizontal wording, compare the original manifold carefully before ordering.
Durability and Design
The BT5-5597 is listed as a Seltec compressor manifold.
It is designed for compatible mobile A/C compressor service applications.
The fitting size is listed as 3/4 in. x 7/8 in.
The manifold style is listed as Style E.
Always verify compressor model, head style, fitting orientation, fitting size, and hose routing before installation.
Installation
Install this manifold according to the compressor or A/C system service procedure.
Before installation, confirm the compressor type, head style, port layout, fitting style, and sealing requirements.
Replace seals or O-rings as needed during installation.
Then leak test the A/C system after service.
Do not install this manifold if the compressor, hose fittings, or head style do not match the BT5-5597 configuration.
