Parker 450230-001 Suction Line Filter Drier 3/4 Inch Sweat

Product Description

The PARKER 450230-001 is a sealed suction line filter drier designed for air conditioning and refrigeration systems. It connects via 3/4-inch copper sweat fittings on both the inlet and outlet, with a body measuring 3.03 inches in diameter and 9.67 inches in length. The molded porous core delivers exceptionally high flow rates and low pressure drop across the suction line, which helps protect the compressor from contaminants and moisture. Built with 500-hour salt spray protection, this unit is suited for demanding environments. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics install this part as part of system clean-up procedures or routine maintenance.

This filter drier is rated for use in air conditioner and refrigerator systems. Its short cut-out length makes it practical for installations in tight equipment bays or confined mechanical spaces where a full-length drier would not fit. Integrated access valve ports simplify pressure drop measurement across the drier without requiring additional line taps, which aids in diagnostics and commissioning. The unit ships sealed to prevent moisture contamination before installation.

Key Features

• Sealed suction line design with 3/4-inch copper sweat connections on both ends
• Molded porous core for high acid capacity and low pressure drop
• Exceptionally high refrigerant flow rates for suction line service
• Short system cut-out length allows installation in confined spaces
• Access valves included for pressure drop measurement without additional line taps
• 500-hour salt spray protection for corrosion resistance
• Manufactured in the USA and listed to UL standards for Canada and the US

Compatibility

Designed for use in air conditioner and refrigerator systems per the manufacturer specification. Listed to UL standards applicable in both Canada and the United States.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC or refrigeration technician following local codes and EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling requirements. The system must be recovered and the suction line depressurized before cutting into the line to install this drier. Sweat connections should be made with nitrogen flowing through the line to prevent oxide scale inside the copper tubing. After installation, verify pressure drop across the drier using the integrated access valve ports before returning the system to service.
