Value Collection 12972 Dual Run Capacitor 35/5 Mfd 370V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12972 is a dual run capacitor rated at 35/5 microfarads (MFD) and 370 volts, designed for use in single-phase motor circuits found in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment. Dual run capacitors support two motor loads simultaneously — typically the compressor and the condenser fan motor — from a single cylindrical housing. The 12972 stands 3.75 inches tall and weighs 0.691 pounds, making it a compact replacement that fits standard capacitor brackets. Licensed HVAC technicians install this type of component during routine maintenance or when diagnosing motor start and run faults.

This capacitor is suited for split-system air conditioners and heat pumps where a single dual run capacitor serves both the compressor and fan motor circuits. It is a common replacement part in residential condensing units and is also used in light commercial rooftop equipment with compatible 370-volt single-phase motor circuits. Technicians typically encounter this capacitor during seasonal tune-ups, no-cool service calls, and compressor or fan motor replacement jobs.

Key Features

• Dual run capacitor supports both compressor and condenser fan motor from one unit
• 35/5 MFD rating matches the most common compressor-plus-fan capacitor configuration
• 370-volt rating suitable for standard residential single-phase HVAC circuits
• Compact cylindrical housing at 3.75 inches tall fits standard mounting brackets
• Lightweight at 0.691 pounds for easy one-hand handling during replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement dual run capacitor for residential and light commercial single-phase HVAC condensing units requiring a 35/5 MFD, 370-volt dual run capacitor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the condensing unit before handling capacitors — capacitors store a charge and must be safely discharged prior to removal. Verify that the replacement MFD and voltage ratings match the existing unit nameplate specifications before installation. Follow all applicable local electrical codes and NEC guidelines when servicing capacitor circuits.
