Parker VA356S Suction Line Accumulator
The Parker VA356S is a suction line accumulator designed for HVAC and refrigeration systems. It protects compressors by preventing liquid refrigerant flood-back during operation. This component is intended for professional technicians and installers servicing residential or commercial cooling equipment. It suits applications requiring reliable refrigerant management in the suction line.
Universal refrigerant compatibility
The accumulator includes a metering orifice that regulates refrigerant flow for consistent system performance. Its universal design allows use with all refrigerant types without modification. Solid copper and steel construction provides durability under varying pressure and temperature conditions. The ODF 3/4 inch connection enables direct brazing into existing copper piping.
3 inch shell diameter by 15 inch height
The shell measures 3 inches in diameter and 15 inches in height, defining the accumulator's physical footprint and internal volume. These dimensions determine fit within the equipment cabinet and refrigerant holding capacity. Installers must verify clearance and piping alignment before installation. The unit weighs 3.4 pounds for handling and support planning.

Questions about this item
Does the solid-copper shell and steel internals of the VA356S need periodic cleaning or descaling?
The solid-copper shell and steel internals are sealed for the service life; no internal cleaning or descaling interval is required.
Will the 3.4 lb steel-and-copper body overheat during continuous refrigerant flow?
The accumulator acts as a passive vessel; its temperature follows the refrigerant, so it does not generate heat or overheat under sustained flow.
Does the VA356S produce any vibration or audible noise when refrigerant passes through the metering orifice all day?
The unit has no moving parts; refrigerant passing the metering orifice is silent and vibration-free during all-day operation.
