Parker 450124-001 Liquid Line Filter Drier 3/8 Inch Sae

Product Description

The PARKER 450124-001 is a Gold Label liquid line filter drier designed for use in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. It removes moisture, acid, and particulate contamination from the refrigerant circuit, protecting compressors and metering devices from damage. The 450124-001 features a 3/8 inch SAE male flare connection and is rated compatible with all commercially available refrigerants. At 1 pound and measuring approximately 7 inches in length, it is a compact, direct-install component suited for residential and light commercial HVAC-R service work performed by licensed refrigeration technicians.

This filter drier is intended for installation on the liquid line of a split system or self-contained refrigeration unit. It is sized for systems using 3/8 inch SAE flare liquid line connections, a common configuration in residential split-system air conditioners, heat pumps, and small commercial refrigeration equipment. The Model 163 designation indicates a specific drier core capacity appropriate for these applications. Technicians typically install this drier during system commissioning, after a compressor burnout, or any time the refrigerant circuit has been opened to atmosphere.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC-R technician holding an EPA Section 608 certification. Recover all refrigerant from the system before opening the liquid line. Flow direction is marked on the drier body and must be observed during installation. After installation, evacuate the system to the required micron level before recharging to prevent moisture contamination of the new drier core.
