Why Use a Liquid Line Filter Drier?
Installing a liquid line filter drier is a critical step in any HVAC/R system installation or service. Filter driers remove harmful contaminants — including moisture, acid, and debris — that can cause compressor failure, metering device clogs, and system inefficiency. The Beckett EK165S provides a high-capacity desiccant core within a compact, durable shell, making it an ideal choice for new installations and system changeouts alike.
Installation Notes
- Install in the liquid line, upstream of the metering device
- Ensure refrigerant flow direction matches the arrow on the drier body
- Replace filter drier any time the system is opened to atmosphere
