The bulb should never be installed on soft-drwan tubing.

No matter how you try, it will never be perfectly straight.

    Bulb Tightness

    Hi all

    How tight do you get your txv bulbs?

    I double checked one Fri and could move the bulb thru the insultube. Removed insulation and redid straps. You can not move the bulb now! Am I being too picky or what?

    Thanks

    If you can wiggle it....

    If you can wiggle it, it's too loose.

    Clean and tight....Make sure there is no corrosion on the surface.
