its safe to say thats the best one

What is leading you toward the cap tube? Why cut it and not just change it?

[QUOTE=andy1154;12591501] I'm confused as to why the pressures are so screwy now.

Maybe before your charge was low and now your at correct charge. Do as supertek65 suggested and remove a few inches off the tube. I will almost always change the cap tube on a compressor change. Cheap insurance.

maybe you could cut a couple inches off the cap tube?

ambient temp in that area is around 75 degrees or so. problem is the compresser sits close to the ceiling and in that area it gets pretty hot. The coil is clean,I faithfully clean all the condensing coils on a monthy basis. With the old compressor in place,before it died, my suction pressure was about 45 to 50,and the head was closer to 200 to 225. That's why I'm confused as to why the pressures are so screwy now. Like I said,the unit does use R-22.

Online or a local branch they are everywhere.

What is the ambient temperature where the cooler is located ? Is the condenser coil clean ?

Thank you very much. Where can I get that catolog?

United Refrigeration catolog. In the compressor section.

That information helps a lot. Now I can just go to my supco chart,and see what size and length cap tube I need for a medium temp application.

So,the compresser,ARE43C3-IAA is 1/3 hp? How did you find that information? And Thank you.

Per your other thread 1/3 HP
