What does the "1.5 HP" at the start mean?

In the trade, capillary tubes are referred to by the horsepower (HP) of the compressor they match. "1.5 HP capillary" means that this inner diameter is typically used in a circuit running with a 1.5 HP (one and a half horsepower) compressor — it is not the power of the tube itself.

The logic is simple: as the compressor gets bigger, the amount of refrigerant that has to circulate in the circuit increases, so a capillary tube with a larger inner diameter is needed. Common equivalents:

• Ø0.80 mm → 1/6 HP  ·  Ø1.00 mm → 1/4 HP  ·  Ø1.20 mm → 1/3 HP  ·  Ø1.30 mm → 1/2 HP
• Ø1.50 mm → 3/4 HP  ·  Ø1.80 mm → 1 HP  ·  Ø2.00 mm → 1.5 HP

⚠️ This is a starting point, not a strict rule. The behavior of a capillary tube is determined by its length as much as by its inner diameter; the refrigerant type (R134a, R600a, R290…) and the operating range (freezer / cooler) also change the result. Even two systems with the same horsepower may need different lengths. For an exact selection, refer to the system manufacturer's table or a circuit calculation; if you are fitting the same tube as the one removed, measure its length exactly as well.
