Diversitech fd-053-s Filter Drier 3/8 in Odf R22 R410A

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH fd-053-s is a refrigerant filter drier designed for use in split-system and packaged air conditioning equipment. It features a 3/8 inch ODF sweat connection and a molded core construction with a 20 micron filtration rating. The molded core design traps moisture, acids, and particulate contamination from the refrigerant circuit, protecting compressors and expansion devices from premature failure. This filter drier is compatible with R22 and R410A refrigerants and is sized for systems in the 3.5 to 5 ton capacity range. Licensed HVAC technicians install this component as part of a system changeout, compressor replacement, or contamination cleanup procedure.

This filter drier is suited for residential and light commercial air conditioning systems in the 3.5 to 5 ton range. It is commonly installed on the liquid line between the condenser and the metering device. The 3/8 inch ODF sweat connection fits standard copper tubing used in these system sizes. Technicians select this part during compressor burnout cleanups, system retrofits, and new installations where moisture or acid removal is required to maintain refrigerant circuit integrity.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch ODF sweat connections for standard copper liquid line installation
• Molded core construction for consistent filtration and desiccant performance
• 20 micron filtration rating removes particulate contamination from the refrigerant circuit
• Compatible with both R22 and R410A refrigerants
• Sized for 3.5 to 5 ton air conditioning systems

Compatibility

Compatible with R22 and R410A refrigerant systems in the 3.5 to 5 ton capacity range with 3/8 inch ODF liquid line connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding an EPA Section 608 certification. Recover all refrigerant and confirm the system is fully depressurized before cutting into the liquid line. The filter drier must be installed with the flow arrow pointing in the direction of refrigerant flow toward the metering device. Replace the filter drier any time the system is opened to atmosphere, after a compressor burnout, or whenever moisture contamination is suspected.
