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

    Your new "tight" is NOW right.You are not being picky ,you are being "normal".

    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.
