Parker 163S Liquid Line Filter Dryer
The Parker 163S is a liquid line filter dryer designed for HVAC and refrigeration systems. It uses a 75/25 desiccant blend to remove moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant circuit. The steel shell features a translucent body for visual inspection of refrigerant flow. It is built for permanent installation via solder connections.
Suits techs needing 3/8 inch solder connections
This unit fits systems requiring a 3/8 inch solder connection and a 6 inch overall length. It serves applications using CFC, HCFC or HFC refrigerants such as R-22 or R-410A. Installers needing flare fittings, larger connection sizes or a different desiccant ratio should select an alternative model.
75/25 desiccant blend for moisture removal
The 75/25 desiccant blend provides the drying capacity for the refrigerant circuit. It supports a 6 ton capacity with R-22 and a 5 ton capacity with R-410A. The cut-out length measures 5 1/2 inches for installation planning. Verify the tonnage rating matches the system load before fitting.

The unit is a standalone steel filter/dryer with 3/8 in solder connections; mounting brackets, solder and flux are not included.
How do I decide between the R-22 and R-410A capacity ratings on the same 163S model?
The same 163S handles 6 ton on R-22 and 5 ton on R-410A; choose based on the refrigerant your system uses.
What does the 75/25 desiccant blend mean for moisture removal once the 163S is installed?
The blend provides 75 % molecular sieve for water adsorption and 25 % activated alumina for acid removal, protecting the system continuously.
