Common Questions:

Is the A3F cartridge used for moisture removal?
No, the A3F is a filter-only cartridge. For moisture and acid removal, you should utilize the A3F-D filter-drier cartridge variant within the BTAS-3 shell.

When should I replace the suction line filter core?
In clean-up applications, replace the 049480 cartridge when the pressure drop across the BTAS shell exceeds the manufacturer’s recommended limit or after the system has stabilized post-repair.

Can this be used in liquid line applications?
No, this filter cartridge is specifically engineered for suction line service and should not be installed in liquid line or hot gas discharge lines.
