Abstract
To provide an expansion valve mounting section that can improve productivity. [Solution] An expansion valve mounting part is provided for an expansion valve attached to a manifold 70, the mounting part of which an expansion valve body 100 is attached to the manifold 70, the expansion valve body 100 having a valve body 25 that adjusts the opening degree of the flow path through which the refrigerant flows and is inserted into an insertion hole 71 of the manifold 70, and a coil part 50 that drives the valve body and has a larger outer diameter than the valve body, and the mounting part is provided for an expansion valve attached to the outer circumference of the valve body 300, the clip part having an axial locking part 86 that locks in the axial direction of the insertion hole to a flange part 72 formed on the inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole of the manifold, and an elastic deformation part 81 that elastically deforms so that the axial locking part is displaced radially inward of the insertion hole compared to the flange part.
