Extended 1/4" Liquid Line Protection for Smaller HVAC and Refrigeration Systems
The Sporlan C-032-CAP-T Extended Liquid Line Filter Drier provides moisture, acid, and contaminant protection for smaller air-conditioning and refrigeration systems. Its compact 3 cubic inch Catch-All core and 1/4" ODF solder connections make it suitable for applications requiring an extended connection configuration and dependable refrigerant-system cleanup.
Designed for Moisture, Acid, and Contaminant Removal
The C-032-CAP-T uses Sporlan’s molded porous Catch-All core to absorb moisture and acids while filtering dirt, scale, solder particles, sludge, and other foreign material from the refrigerant circuit. Removing these contaminants helps protect compressors, capillary tubes, expansion devices, and other sensitive system components.
Ideal for: Smaller air-conditioning and refrigeration liquid lines requiring a 3 cubic inch filter drier with 1/4" ODF solder connections.
Configuration note: The C-032-CAP-T uses an extended connection configuration. Verify the complete model number and available installation space before ordering.

Installation
Install the C-032-CAP-T in the refrigerant liquid line with the flow arrow pointing in the direction of refrigerant flow. The 1/4" copper connections are designed for standard HVAC brazing or sweat installation.
Protect the filter drier from excessive heat and purge the tubing with nitrogen during brazing. After installation, 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, pressure testing, evacuation, refrigerant handling, and system charging should be completed by a qualified HVAC or refrigeration technician.
Frequently Asked Questions
