Are you trying to locate it on the vehicle or trying to purchase one?

Any Ford dealer's parts department can sell you one. They're also available aftermarket and online.

locate it on the vehicle. lol dealership told me they wouldn't work on ac cuz it was refilled with some stuff with leak stop in it, as it would destroy their equipment. so in process of replacing entire ac setup...and have a couple pieces that I couldn't find where exactly they go to change them out.

Welcome to the Forum.
Recommend that any parts be purchased from Benny at Levittown Ford. They are a forum vendor and he offers a discount on shipping costs as well.

Sounds like you have a leak in the system which should be located and repaired firstly. This can be accomplished by dye, electronic refrigerant detector, visual means, big blu bubble leak, dry nitrogen.
There are sealant traps which prevent sealer reaching recovery equipment.

I do A/C work with a portable recovery machine and do it mobile sometimes working in the field on construction equipment. I have no worry of sealant getting to my equipment. Here is a pic of what I built to first separate dye, oil and any sealer from the refrigerant followed by a filter-drier with moisture indicator before going to machine. BTW rear HVAC is located L/side.
