Bard HVAC 5201-010BX Filter Drier

The Bard HVAC 5201-010BX Bi-Directional Heat Pump Filter Drier is a replacement refrigeration component designed for compatible heat pump systems with a 3/8-inch refrigerant line connection. This heat pump filter drier helps remove moisture, acids, and solid contaminants from the refrigerant circuit to maintain proper system operation.

Unlike conventional single-direction filter driers, this bi-directional refrigerant filter drier accommodates refrigerant flow reversal during heating and cooling operation. Its filtration design helps protect refrigeration components from contamination that can restrict refrigerant flow and affect system performance.

The Bard 5201-010BX replacement filter drier replaces Bard part number 5201-010 and is associated with the BFK-163S bi-directional filter drier. It is identified for compatible heat pump applications in the 37,000–60,000 BTU capacity range.

Designed for professional HVAC service, this 3/8-inch liquid line filter drier should be installed according to manufacturer specifications. Verify equipment compatibility, refrigerant type, connection configuration, and system requirements before purchasing.
