Rcd kh43lg093 Liquid Line Drier 3/8 Inch Odf Heat Pump

Product Description

The RCD kh43lg093 is a liquid line filter drier designed to remove moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant circuit in heat pump and air conditioning systems. Sized with a 3/8 inch ODF inlet and a 3/8 inch ODF outlet, it installs in the liquid line between the condenser and the metering device. The drier protects compressors and expansion valves from acid, particulate, and moisture damage that can result from system exposure or a refrigerant recovery and recharge cycle. Licensed HVAC technicians install this part during new system commissioning, after a compressor burnout cleanup, or any time a system has been open to atmosphere.

This drier is suited for residential and light commercial heat pump systems where a 3/8 inch ODF liquid line connection is required. It is a direct-fit replacement intended for use in packaged and split-system heat pumps. Compatible models listed in the original product data include 48FCEA06 1 3A, 48GCDP04 3 6A, and 48KCRA05 6A. Always verify the inlet and outlet connection sizes and orientation against the existing installation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding an EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling certification. Recover all system refrigerant before opening the liquid line. The drier should be brazed or mechanically connected per the equipment manufacturer service instructions, and the system must be evacuated to the required micron level before recharging. Always install a new drier after any open-system service to prevent residual moisture from circulating.
