Reversible Liquid Line Protection for Heat Pump Systems
The Parker Sporlan HPC-164-S-HH Reversible Heat Pump Filter Drier provides high-capacity moisture, acid, and contaminant protection for heat pump systems requiring refrigerant flow in either direction. Its 16 cubic inch molded core, internal check-valve design, and 1/2" ODF solder connections make it a dependable choice for modern residential and light-commercial heat pump applications.
Designed for Bidirectional Heat Pump Operation
Unlike a standard one-way liquid line filter drier, the HPC-164-S-HH is engineered for heat pump systems where refrigerant flow reverses between heating and cooling modes. Internal check valves direct the refrigerant through the filtering core in either direction while helping maintain low pressure drop and consistent contaminant removal.
Ideal for: Residential and light-commercial heat pump systems requiring a reversible liquid line filter drier with 1/2" ODF solder connections.
Flow note: This model is specifically designed for bidirectional refrigerant flow. Do not substitute a standard one-way liquid line filter drier in applications that require a reversible heat pump drier.

Heat Pump and Refrigerant Applications
The HPC-164-S-HH is designed for reversible heat pump applications and is especially suited for higher-pressure refrigerant systems using POE lubricants. Published performance includes approximately 7.8 tons with R-407C and 8.3 tons with R-410A at a 1 PSID pressure drop.
System capacity depends on refrigerant type, liquid temperature, operating conditions, and allowable pressure drop. Confirm proper filter drier selection using the equipment requirements and current Parker Sporlan application data.
Installation
Install the HPC-164-S-HH in the heat pump liquid line according to the equipment layout and accepted HVAC installation practices. Because the filter drier is reversible, it can accommodate refrigerant flow in either direction during heating and cooling operation.
Protect the filter drier from excessive brazing heat and purge the tubing with nitrogen during installation. After brazing, pressure-test the system, repair any detected leaks, evacuate the refrigerant circuit, and charge the equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Filter drier selection, brazing, nitrogen purging, refrigerant handling, pressure testing, evacuation, and system charging should be completed by a qualified HVAC technician.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size connections does the HPC-164-S-HH use?
The HPC-164-S-HH has 1/2" ODF solder connections on both ends.
Is the HPC-164-S-HH reversible?
Yes. It is designed specifically for heat pump systems and allows refrigerant to flow in either direction during heating and cooling operation.
What does HH mean in the model number?
The HH designation identifies the high-capacity core configuration used for enhanced moisture, acid, and contaminant removal.
Can this filter drier be used with R-410A?
Yes. The HPC-164-S-HH is designed for modern heat pump applications and is rated for R-410A systems at pressures up to 650 PSIG.
What is the approximate capacity of the HPC-164-S-HH?
Published performance is approximately 7.8 tons with R-407C and 8.3 tons with R-410A at a 1 PSID pressure drop.
Can a standard one-way filter drier replace this model?
No. A standard one-way liquid line filter drier should not be substituted where bidirectional refrigerant flow is required. Use a reversible heat pump filter drier designed for the application.
