Sporlan 450280-001 Filter

The Sporlan 450280-001 Filter, also categorized under the LLD 083 3/8" SAE Male FILTER specification, is an industry-standard liquid line filter drier designed for high-efficiency contaminant management. Built for professional HVACR applications, this sealed model filter drier features a 3/8" SAE flare (male) connection, ensuring a secure, mechanical fit without the need for brazing. With an 8 cubic inch desiccant volume, it delivers high-capacity moisture and acid removal, cross-compatible with R-410A, R-22, R-134a, and other HFC or HCFC refrigerants. The unit’s porous molded core provides 21 square inches of filtering area, effectively capturing solid debris like scale and solder particles that threaten TEV performance and compressor protection. Rated for a maximum operating pressure of 650 PSI, this steel-body shell includes an epoxy powder coating for superior corrosion resistance in demanding environments. For technicians managing HVACR system maintenance, this component is essential for preventing expansion valve freeze-ups and acid-related motor failures.

• Molecular Sieve Desiccant: High-performance blend ensures maximum moisture adsorption and acid neutralization to maintain refrigerant chemical stability.
• Contaminant Filtration: The porous molded core removes microscopic debris down to minimal micron levels in a single pass with low pressure drop.
• Robust Construction: Durable steel shell with epoxy powder finish protects against rust and environmental wear in residential and commercial settings.
• Ease of Installation: Features 3/8" SAE male flare connections for rapid field replacement or OEM application without heat.

Is the LLD 083 compatible with R-410A systems?
Yes, it is UL listed for R-410A and handles the high-pressure demands of modern HFC systems with a 650 PSI safety rating.

Can this filter be used on the suction side?
No, the 450280-001 is specifically engineered as a liquid line filter drier. For burnout cleanup or compressor protection on the low side, a dedicated suction line drier is required.

How do I verify the direction of flow?
Always check the flow arrow embossed on the shell. Installing the drier in reverse can compromise the filtration of solid debris and lead to system inefficiency.
