***NOT FOR HEAT PUMPS. SINGLE REFRIGERANT FLOW DIRECTION***
The Copeland EK-052S Liquid Line Filter Drier provides moisture, acid and contaminant protection for air-conditioning and refrigeration systems. Its compacted bead desiccant design offers high moisture and acid-removal capacity, while a 20-micron outlet pad captures fine solid contaminants before they can reach the expansion device or compressor.
The EK-052S features solid copper 1/4-inch ODF solder connections for dependable brazed installation. Its shock-resistant steel shell has a corrosion-resistant epoxy powder-coated finish for durable performance in commercial refrigeration and HVAC applications.
This universal replacement filter drier is designed for use with common CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerants, including R-12, R-134a, R-22, R-404A, R-407C, R-410A, R-500, R-502 and R-507. System capacity varies according to the refrigerant, operating temperature and application.

Catch-All THE PERFECT FILTER-DRIER for use with R12, R134a, R410A, R22, R404A, R407C, R500, R502, R507 Refrigerants!
The universal acceptance of the Catch-All? Filter-Drier is due to its unique molded porous core, consisting of a blend of highly effective desiccants. The quality features built into it assure years of service on any refrigeration system.
- MOISTURE - The Catch-All Filter-Drier removes moisture from the refrigerant by adsorbing and retaining it deep within the desiccant granules. The blend of desiccants used in the Catch-All Filter-Drier are specially formulated for exceptional water removal.
- FOREIGN MATTER - The Catch-All Filter-Drier will filter out scale, solder particles, carbon, sludge, dirt or any other foreign matter with negligible pressure drop. Fine particles that would go through an ordinary strainer are removed down to a minimum size in one pass filtration. The large filtering area of the Catch-All Filter-Drier core permits it to collect a large amount of dirt without plug up.
- ACID- The Catch-All Filter-Drier is unexcelled in acid removal ability. The hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, and various organic acids are adsorbed and held by the desiccant in a manner similar to the adsorption of moisture. Tests have demonstrated that the Catch-All Filter-Drier has superior acid removal ability when compared to competitive driers. This ability, along with its excellent ability toclean up the oil, is responsible for the excellent field performance in cleaning up severely contaminated systems.
- OIL SLUDGE AND VARNISH- Even the best refrigeration oils break down to produce varnish, sludge and organic acids. Only the Catch-All Filter-Drier is capable of removing these products of oil decomposition.
- SPECIAL APPLICATIONS- A special ?HH? core Catch-All Filter-Drier is available to remove wax which frequently causes difficulty on low temperature refrigeration systems. For cap tube systems, use the C-032-CAP or C-032-CAP-T Catch-All which hasfittings suitable for attaching to any size capillary tube.
