Icp P502-C163S Liquid Line Filter Drier 16 Cu in 3/8 in

Product Description

The International Comfort Products P502-C163S is a liquid line filter drier designed to remove moisture, acids, and contaminants from refrigerant circuits in split-system and packaged HVAC equipment. With a 16 cubic inch desiccant capacity and 3/8 inch connections, this filter drier protects expansion devices, compressors, and metering components from the harmful effects of moisture and particulate contamination. It is installed by licensed HVAC technicians as part of routine system maintenance, system commissioning, or compressor replacement procedures where cleanup of the refrigerant circuit is required.

This liquid line drier is suited for residential and light commercial split-system air conditioning and heat pump applications. It installs in the liquid line between the condenser and the metering device. The 3/8 inch connection size makes it appropriate for smaller-tonnage systems commonly found in residential installations. It is well-suited for use during new installations or after a compressor burnout when acid and carbon contamination must be removed from the refrigerant circuit before the system is returned to service.

Key Features

• 16 cubic inch desiccant capacity for effective moisture and contaminant removal
• 3/8 inch connection size for compatibility with smaller-tonnage residential refrigerant lines
• Liquid line design targets moisture, acids, and particulates before the metering device
• Appropriate for use during new installations and post-burnout cleanup procedures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement liquid line filter drier for residential and light commercial split-system air conditioning and heat pump equipment with 3/8 inch liquid line connections.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with applicable mechanical codes and EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling regulations. Recover all refrigerant before opening the refrigerant circuit. Ensure the drier is installed with the flow arrow oriented in the correct direction of refrigerant flow toward the metering device. After installation, evacuate the system to the required micron level before recharging with refrigerant.
