Ritchie Engineering 60195 Capillary Tube Cutter

Product Description

The RITCHIE ENGINEERING 60195 is a capillary tube cutter designed for clean, precise cuts on small-diameter capillary tubing used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Capillary tubes serve as metering devices in many refrigerant circuits, and a clean cut is critical to maintaining proper flow characteristics and avoiding deformation that can restrict or block the tubing bore. This tool gives HVAC-R technicians a controlled cutting method that avoids the burring and crimping associated with improper cutting techniques.

The 60195 is suited for use in residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning service work where capillary tube replacement or modification is part of the repair. It is a single-unit tool, making it a practical addition to a service technician's kit for field and shop use when working on capillary-metered refrigerant systems.

Key Features

• Purpose-built design for cutting small-diameter capillary tubing cleanly
• Helps prevent bore deformation, burring, and crimping during cuts
• Compact single-unit tool suitable for field and shop use
• Supports accurate capillary tube servicing in refrigerant metering applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with capillary tubing found in residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems that use capillary tube metering devices.

Installation Notes

Capillary tube service should be performed by a licensed HVAC-R technician following applicable refrigerant handling regulations. Before cutting or replacing capillary tubing, recover refrigerant from the system in accordance with EPA Section 608 requirements. Inspect the cut end for any deformation or burring before installing or brazing the tube into the refrigerant circuit.
