Rheem 83-ask-165svv Suction Line Filter Drier

Product Description

The RHEEM 83-ask-165svv is a hermetic suction line filter drier designed for installation on the suction side of a refrigeration or air conditioning system. It features a solid core with an activated carbon blend that maximizes the removal of acid, moisture, and wax from the refrigerant circuit. Licensed HVAC technicians install this component during system service to protect the compressor and metering devices from contamination. The ASK series hermetic shell construction keeps the desiccant core fully sealed, maintaining drying capacity throughout the service life of the unit.

This filter drier is suited for residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications where suction line filtration is required. It is typically installed following a compressor burnout or as a preventive measure during major system service. The activated carbon blend addresses acid contamination that is common after burnout events, making it a practical choice for cleanup procedures where protecting the replacement compressor is the primary concern.

Key Features

• Solid core construction with activated carbon blend for acid, moisture, and wax removal
• Hermetic shell design keeps desiccant sealed and effective throughout service life
• ASK series suction line configuration for installation on the low-pressure side of the system
• Standard shell form factor for straightforward field installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style suction line filter drier for use in residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems requiring standard shell suction side filtration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with applicable mechanical codes. Recover all refrigerant and verify the system is fully depressurized before opening any refrigerant lines. Flow direction must be observed when installing suction line filter driers — verify arrow orientation on the shell before brazing or connecting fittings. After installation, evacuate the system to the required micron level before recharging with the appropriate refrigerant type and charge.
