Cap-Check
The Cap-Check is a Thermal Engineering innovation that has made cap tube cleaning possible and practical. It is
designed to pump a high rate of oil into the cap tube, building up pressures needed to open any plugged cap tube.
The Cap-Check will also clean partially plugged cap tubes when used with the 55-1101 Thermal Chaser Kit.

• Cap-Check is a portable, self contained hydraulic power unit with auxiliary equipment
especially adapted to cleaning refrigeration capillary tubes.
• A 0 to 6000 PSI gauge shows pressure build-up if cap tube is restricted and also
shows when chaser has passed through the tube. A trigger operated gauge shut-off
is provided so the gauge will not be damaged if pressures greater than 6000 PSI
are desired. A 30" high pressure hydraulic hose with a 1/4" SAE male flare outlet
connects the cap tube to the Cap-Check for simple handling.
• An adapter is supplied to connect the cap tube directly to the hose outlet without a
flared fitting

• Carrying case has clips to hold Cap-Check, Chaser Kit, hose, handle and extended
base.

• Chaser Kit is the only means available to clean partially plugged cap tubes. The kit
must be used with the Thermal Cap-Check since no other cap tube cleaning tool
provides a rate of oil flow large enough to remove partial restrictions even from the
smallest cap tubes.
• The Chaser Kit consists of 10 spools of lead alloy wire which can be used as a chaser
for the 10 most popular sizes of cap tubes (0.028, 0.031, 0.036, 0.039, 0.042, 0.046,
0.050, 0.055, 0.064, 0.070).
• In addition to the wire, a cap tube gauge, a set of sizing tools and a combination
file/reamer are all included in a durable metal case.
