Sporlan recommends "horizontal" for the TEV bulb installation on the suction line exiting the evaporator. Just how horizontal is important. Would a gradual slope of no more then 30 degrees from horizontal be a problem?
Sporlan TEV Bulbs - Just how horizontal??

Nope
What position will you mount the bulb? Top(12 o'clock)? Bottom(6 o'clock)? Where should it go and why?
-zero
I'd mount it in the "shotgun" position for easier access...
In general, lines less than 7/8, anywhere except 6 o'clock. 7/8 and greater 4 or 8 o'clock and never in a trap or downstream of a trap. Id reccommend the OP go to Sporlans web site. All questions can be answered there.
I actually did email Sporlan and here's what they said. (in other words they don't have a clue).
"I don't know if there is a definitive answer to your question.
It would be better on a "more-horizontal" line than a "more-veritical" line.
If you are experiencing issues it may be a matter of trial and error to find the best location."

Thanks/Sorry Mike & everyone. I wanted the post to be a information quest type of question for Howard, however I failed to address it TO Howard and left it open ended. 8-O
Oh well, Dido's reply was kind of interesting.
