What refrigerants am I clear to use with the 059689?
This model is rated for use with most modern CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, including R-22, R-134a, R-404A, and R-507. Always verify oil compatibility before installation.

Is the 059689 bi-directional for heat pump use?
No, the Emerson TD032 is a unidirectional liquid line drier. For heat pump applications, ensure you follow the flow arrow on the shell or utilize a dedicated bi-flow model.

How does this compare to the EK series?
While the 059689 (TD032) provides excellent 3 cu. in. filtration, it is a standard hermetic unit. The EK series typically offers higher-grade 20-micron filtration for more sensitive systems.
