Abstract
An adapter (10) as disclosed which is employed to join a heater (12) and an air conditioning evaporator (14) in an air conditioning system. The adapter (10) is provided with a series of slidable panels (60, 62, 64) which permit the adapter to be sized to fit a particular heater (12) by breaking off selected segments of the panels along a series of frangible connections (74, 84). In a second embodiment, an adapter (100) is provided with end panels (108) and side panels (112) which also include segments that can be broken off from the panels along a series of frangible connection (118). The panels (108, 112) are secured about the edges of the frame (102) of the adapter (100).
