JB Industries TC-36-12 Capillary Tube
This 12 ft length of copper capillary tubing is designed for refrigeration and air conditioning systems. It provides the precise metering device required for controlling refrigerant flow in HVAC applications. Professional technicians use it for system repairs or custom installations. The tubing arrives new and ready for brazing or flaring as needed.
.036 in ID x .087 in OD Flow Capacity
The 0.036 in inside diameter meters refrigerant for small-capacity systems such as residential air conditioners or commercial display cases. It handles the pressure drop across the evaporator in these typical installations. The fixed restriction cannot be adjusted, so it suits only the specific tonnage it was sized for. Larger tonnage units will starve and lose cooling capacity.
Replaces Fixed Orifice or TXV Devices
This capillary tube replaces a factory-installed fixed orifice or a failed thermostatic expansion valve on compatible equipment. The jump is worthwhile when the original metering device is blocked, damaged or when converting a system to a critical charge design. It is not for systems requiring adjustable superheat control or variable load matching.

Questions about this item
Will this .036 ID x .087 OD copper capillary tube connect to the fittings on my existing refrigeration system?
The tube has a 0.036 in inside diameter and 0.087 in outside diameter; match those dimensions to your current fittings to confirm fit.
How can I verify the capillary tube is installed correctly after setup?
Check that refrigerant flows without restriction and that system pressures stabilise within the expected range for the application.
What comes with the 12 ft capillary tube and do I need any extra parts?
The package contains the 12 ft copper capillary tube only; any flare nuts, ferrules or brazing alloy must be purchased separately.
