HVAC filter dryer for refrigerant lines
This Parker 163 filter dryer installs in liquid lines using a 3/8 inch SAE flare connection. It suits HVAC technicians servicing residential or light commercial systems that run CFC, HCFC or HFC refrigerants. The steel body contains a 75/25 desiccant blend that removes moisture and acid from the refrigerant circuit.
Fits 3/8 inch flare fittings and frees up line space
The 6 3/4 inch cut-out length lets the dryer sit between existing flare nuts without extra adapters. Its steel construction handles system pressures while the desiccant core protects compressors and metering devices from contamination. The single-unit design eliminates the need for separate strainer and dryer components in the liquid line.
Replaces worn filter dryers during service
Install this unit when a dryer shows pressure drop, acid test failure or after a compressor burnout. The 3 ton R-22 and 5 ton R-410A ratings cover common residential capacities. Technicians who need larger connection sizes or higher tonnage ratings should select a different model.

Questions about this item
How long is the Parker 163 filter dryer overall?
The overall length is 6 3/4 inches, which determines the cut-out space you need in the liquid line.
What desiccant blend does the 163 use and how does it handle moisture during continuous operation?
It uses a 75/25 desiccant blend that continuously removes moisture and acid from all CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerants while the system runs.
Which flare fittings must already be on the tubing for the 3/8 inch SAE connections to seal?
You need 3/8 inch SAE flare nuts on both ends of the copper tubing so the filter dryer's flare connections seat and seal correctly.
