The 680 PSI maximum pressure rating makes this filter drier suitable for use with modern high-pressure refrigerants.
Why Choose a Quality Liquid Line Filter Drier?
Installing a liquid line filter drier is a critical step in protecting compressors, expansion valves, and other refrigeration components from moisture, acid, and debris. Moisture in a refrigeration system can cause freeze-ups, acid formation, and premature compressor failure. The Copeland STAS489T provides reliable, long-term protection to keep systems running efficiently and extend equipment life.
