Rcd p502-c163s Liquid Line Filter Drier 16CI 3/8 Odf

Product Description

The RCD p502-c163s is a liquid line filter drier designed to remove moisture, acid, and contaminants from a refrigerant system. Sized at 16 cubic inches with a 3/8 inch ODF connection, it fits standard liquid line installations in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Licensed HVAC technicians install this component during system commissioning, after a compressor burnout, or any time the refrigerant circuit has been opened and moisture contamination is a concern. Keeping the liquid line clean and dry protects the expansion device and compressor from acid and freeze-up damage.

This filter drier is installed on the liquid line between the condenser and the metering device. It is suited for residential split systems, packaged units, and light commercial refrigeration circuits where liquid line filtration is required. The 3/8 inch ODF connection size is common across a wide range of residential cooling equipment, making this a straightforward drop-in replacement during routine maintenance or refrigerant circuit service.

• 16 cubic inch capacity for effective moisture and contaminant removal in the liquid line
• 3/8 inch ODF connections sized for standard residential and light commercial liquid line tubing
• Designed to protect the metering device and compressor from moisture, acid, and debris

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling requirements.
