Abstract
In order to achieve reduced production costs in an expansion valve mounting member used for mounting an expansion valve on a heat exchanger and an improvement in its suitability for mass production, the expansion valve mounting member has a pair of tubular members, each of which is formed as a pipe, with one end of the pair connecting with a pair of coolant intake/outlet portions provided parallel to each other in the heat exchanger and the other end connecting with the expansion valve. A collar is provided at a specific position on the external circumferential side surface of each tubular member. A plate member is provided with a pair of holes into which the pair of tubular members are inserted. When the tubular members are fitted into the holes of the plate member, the collars come in contact with the circumferential edges of the holes to establish positioning.
