Ranco A30-3618 HVAC Temperature Control
The Ranco A30-3618 is a single-pole single-throw temperature control designed for HVAC systems. It uses a 30-inch capillary tube to sense temperature changes in ducts, tanks or remote locations. The switch opens or closes a circuit based on the set point, making it suitable for heating or cooling equipment that requires basic on-off regulation. Installers and maintenance technicians use it where a mechanical thermostat with a remote bulb is specified.
17-Degree Differential and Capillary Reach
The control operates with a fixed 17-degree Fahrenheit differential between cut-in and cut-out temperatures. This wide gap prevents short-cycling on systems that tolerate broader temperature swings, but it is not suitable for processes needing tight tolerance. The 30-inch capillary limits placement to locations within that distance from the controller body. Applications requiring a narrower differential or a longer capillary run will need a different model.

Questions about this item
Will the 30-inch capillary tube reach the evaporator coil on my older walk-in cooler?
The 30-inch capillary provides a fixed sensing length; measure the distance from your control mounting location to the coil to confirm it reaches without stretching or kinking the tube.
How do I verify the SPST switch is cycling correctly at the 17-degree differential after installation?
Monitor the system with a thermometer; the compressor should start at the setpoint and stop once the temperature drops 17 degrees Fahrenheit, confirming the differential is functioning.
