Emerson Alco 060275 Strainer Assembly

The Emerson Alco 060275 Strainer Assembly (OEM Part X27458-2) is a critical internal component specifically engineered for the STAS-96 filter drier shell. Designed for high-capacity commercial refrigeration and HVACR systems, this replacement shell strainer serves as the primary barrier against desiccant particles and system debris, protecting downstream expansion valves and compressors from catastrophic failure. Built with a heavy-duty steel frame and a 100 mesh outlet screen, it ensures 40-micron filtration (when used with cores) without compromising system pressure drops.

This STAS-96 internal assembly is compatible with CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, including R-744 (CO2) applications, rated for a maximum working pressure of up to 680 psig in T-style shells. The sliding-handle design facilitates rapid core changeouts during routine maintenance or after a compressor burnout. For veteran technicians, this assembly is the standard for maintaining liquid and suction line integrity in 96-cubic-inch take-apart shells.

• Precise Compatibility: Direct OEM replacement for Alco X27458-2, ensuring a perfect fit in Emerson STAS-96 series shells.
• Enhanced Durability: Features a corrosion-resistant epoxy powder coat finish and a reinforced steel structure for long-term service life in harsh environments.
• Efficient Contaminant Removal: The integrated 100 mesh screen prevents desiccant migration and traps metallic chips or scale.
• Streamlined Service: Unique internal hardware allows for hassle-free installation and quick access to 48 cubic inch filter-drier blocks.

Does this assembly include the filter cores?
No, the 060275 strainer assembly is the internal hardware only. You must purchase the 48 cubic inch desiccant or filter blocks separately based on your specific system requirements (e.g., moisture removal vs. acid cleanup).

Can this be used on the suction side?
Yes, this assembly is suitable for both liquid and suction line services. When used in suction applications, it is often paired with high-flow filter cores to protect the compressor from debris following a system failure.

Is this the correct part for a STAS-48 or STAS-144 shell?
No. The 060275 is sized specifically for the STAS-96 (dual-core) shell. The STAS-48 uses part number 060274 (X27458-1), and the STAS-144 uses 060276 (X27458-3).
