Sporlan Controls 183352 Bulb Clamp Kit

Description

The Sporlan Controls 183352 Bulb Clamp Kit is a purpose-built accessory designed to ensure proper and secure mounting of thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) sensing bulbs on refrigerant suction lines. Correct bulb placement and firm contact with the suction line are critical to accurate refrigerant superheat sensing and overall system efficiency — and this kit delivers exactly that.

Why Proper Bulb Mounting Matters

A sensing bulb that is improperly secured or poorly seated against the suction line can result in erratic superheat readings, hunting, and reduced system efficiency. The Sporlan 183352 Bulb Clamp Kit eliminates this risk by providing a secure, thermally conductive connection between the sensing bulb and the pipe — protecting system performance and extending equipment life.
