    Cap tubes again



    Good Morning

    I know this topic has been done to death but I have to replace a cap tube (.026" by 10') and seek a little advice. Can it be joined as the last 12" are built into the accumulator and then it passes inside the evap plates inlet which is aly and I dont want to go there. Also is better to braze it with some phosphor rod or use solder, the heat difference is significant as I have no nitrgen for the purge.

    And last but never the least - I read all the last threads and found aa ancient link from Brian but the URL has has changed so I show the new link below. Its a very good captube page as shows sizes versus flow and not for compressor types. As I can only find 0.031 tube in 8' lengths does any one think 2 lengths of this will do the job or is the centre joint a no no.?
    Thanks
    Chef
