How to seal A/C expansion valve capillary tube

[commando1]

to the low pressure line.
(67 Newport)
How do you do it??

I expect an answer by the time I've replaced the last O-ring....

 

[commando1]

I'm finished...........

Oh for petesakes, I figured it out....

My factory system wasn't sealed when I tore it down.

 

[commando1]

Neither was my old one. Hmmmmmmmmm....

Well, I'm going to epoxy it anyway. Only seems right.

Scott, got a pic of it as it is now?
Is it sealed or not sealed now?

No need to seal it.

Not sealed. I'll get a pic later.

 

[Mr C]

They are not sealed.

 

[commando1]

Not sealed. OK.
Goes against common sense but I have to go with it.
I'm still going to seal mine with the thermal epoxy because I bought it and it can't hurt.
Now I have to ask why refrigerant doesn't leak out of there.
Anybody know? Any theories?

That's a tube within a tube it just does temp, the one with nut and flare fitting is pressure.

First, get yourself a Factory service manual. Referred commonly as "FSM". Some like the original paper (myself included) but you can download a copy here: http://www.mymopar.com/index.php?pid=109

Why do those exact words sound so familiar?

I thought so too and wondered about it as I was copying and pasting but brushed it off as just another Déjà vu moment

I think they semi seal it with dum-dum, 2 part epoxy may be over kill and murder for the next guy trying to pull it out as he is cursing you.

If I walked into a store today asked for dum-dum, they'd say He's on break....

Most good counter guys will know what dum-dum is. Sometimes called ribbon sealer, sometimes called glass sealer. it's black and sticky.

BUT........ You don't need it for the capillary tube
