Soldering Filter Drier EK-165S 5/8″ The EK-165S is a high-quality solder-type liquid line filter drier designed to protect refrigeration and air conditioning systems from moisture, acids, and solid contaminants. Manufactured with a solid core desiccant and a 20-micron filtration pad, this filter drier ensures effective removal of harmful particles and water vapor, which helps maintain system efficiency and prolong equipment life. The solder connection type allows for a secure and leak-proof installation, making it ideal for both new system assemblies and service replacements in HVAC and refrigeration units. Applications Residential, commercial, and industrial HVAC systems Refrigeration systems including supermarkets, cold storage, and transport refrigeration Suitable for use with CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants such as R-22, R-134a, R-404A, and more Heat pumps and split system air conditioners Recommended for installation during compressor replacements, major repairs, or system retrofits Key Features Solid Core Desiccant: Utilizes high-quality molecular sieve desiccant for superior moisture and acid absorption capacity. 20-Micron Filtration: Captures solid contaminants and particles to protect system components and reduce wear. Solder Connection: Provides a reliable, permanent joint ensuring no leakage and easy integration with copper piping. Wide Refrigerant Compatibility: Approved for use with a broad range of refrigerants and compatible with POE oils used in modern HVAC systems. Corrosion-Resistant Steel Shell: Durable construction with an epoxy powder coat finish resists corrosion and mechanical damage during installation and operation. High Pressure Rating: Rated to withstand pressures up to 680 psig (46.9 bar), suitable for most residential and commercial systems.
