Mueller Streamline DRIEA-18699 Liquid Line Filter Drier

Product Description

The MUELLER STREAMLINE DRIEA-18699 is a high-capacity liquid line filter drier designed to remove moisture, acid, and particulate contamination from refrigerant circuits. With a unit size of 16 cubic inches and a pressure rating of 700 psig, it is built for demanding HVAC and refrigeration applications where moisture control is critical to system longevity. The shell measures 2.92 inches inner diameter by 3.12 inches outer diameter, with an overall length of 5.79 inches and a cut-out length of 4.33 inches. A powder-coated finish provides corrosion resistance in installed environments. This component is typically installed by licensed HVAC-R technicians during system commissioning or after a compressor burnout recovery procedure.

This filter drier is suited for use in residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems where the liquid line requires filtration and desiccation. The high-capacity classification makes it appropriate for systems that have experienced contamination events, such as compressor burnouts, or for installations where extended service intervals are expected. It fits inline on the liquid line between the condenser and the metering device.

Key Features

• High-capacity desiccant volume in a 16 cubic inch unit size for extended moisture and acid removal
• 700 psig pressure rating supports a wide range of refrigerants and operating conditions
• 2.92 inch ID by 3.12 inch OD shell dimensions for standard inline liquid line installation
• 4.33 inch cut-out length simplifies line-set replacement and retrofit work
• Powder-coated exterior finish resists corrosion in mechanical room and rooftop environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation liquid line filter drier for residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems requiring a high-capacity inline drier.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC-R technician in accordance with applicable mechanical codes. Recover all refrigerant and depressurize the system fully before cutting into the liquid line. Observe the flow-direction arrow marked on the drier shell during installation. After brazing and pressure-testing the connections, pull a deep vacuum before recharging the system with refrigerant.
