Default Name that Part!

I attempted to recharge the A/C in my 2000 Blazer only to hear a low hissing from this (I'm going to assume) fitting/valve. I haven't been able to find anywhere stating the name of this part so I can look into replacing it.
And if I'm even able to replace just this or if I'll have to replace the entire hose.

That is a dryer/accumulator line. Have you tried snugging up the fitting? I believe there is an O ring on the end of that line. Haven't been in one for a long time. You will have to have the system vacuumed and make sure it has oil.

I did attempt to tighten that fitting a little, but was afraid of breaking the line and it felt pretty tight. I may loosen them up to check for the O ring. Thank you

You will have to completely discharge the A/C system before loosening the nut.

You can pickup an oring kit off rockauto for a few bucks. I did this on mine before I did my v8 swap and it worked like a charm.
You will have to evac the system before you do anything though.
FOUR SEASONS brand, part number 26742 is what I used

Yup common place for an o ring to leak. Get a full o ring kit and do them all at the same time along with the accompanying bits involved in freshening up an A/V and then head to a shop and have then vac and charge it up for you.
