I do have one on hand actually , but I believe these rotary compressors have one built onto them from the factory. I don’t think I’ll mess with the txv as per your guidance. Getting the ports on the compressor hot enough to make solder stick to them has proven quite difficult. It is the only thing holding me back currently . Might have to upgrade to an oxy-acetelyne torch.
