Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 060014 Filter Drier
The Copeland Alco 060014 Filter Drier, also identified by model EK033S, is a high-performance liquid line filter drier designed for professional HVACR applications. Engineered with a 3 cubic inch desiccant volume, this unit provides exceptional moisture and acid removal to maintain system chemistry and prevent compressor hardware failure. It serves as a direct replacement for FD-033-S and is fully compatible with CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, including R-410A and R-22. The EK033S features a premium compacted bead core consisting of a 75% molecular sieve and 25% activated alumina blend, ensuring maximum filtration at a 20 micron rating. With a 680 PSI max working pressure and 3/8" ODF sweat connections, this rugged steel-shell drier is built to handle high-pressure environments while protecting the expansion valve from debris. The corrosion-resistant epoxy powder finish and solid copper fittings make it a reliable choice for field service technicians seeking Copeland approved POE oil compatibility.
