Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 053005 Filter Drier

The Alco 053005 Filter Drier, also identified as the Model STAS489T, is a high-performance, replaceable core filter drier designed for liquid and suction line applications in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. This heavy-duty steel liquid line filter drier features a 1 1/8" Sweat (ODF) connection and is built to accommodate a single 48 cubic inch core (sold separately), allowing for maximum flexibility in contaminant control. Capable of handling a 680 PSI max pressure (T version), it is compatible with a wide range of refrigerants including R-22, R-410A, R-404A, and R-134a. The 053005 serves as a direct technical replacement for 023U7253 and DHY0112 units. Engineered with a corrosion-resistant epoxy powder finish and full-flow fittings, this shell ensures a low pressure drop and long-term durability in demanding environments. Technicians value the take-apart design for hassle-free maintenance and the reliable 100 mesh outlet screen that protects downstream components from solid debris and desiccant migration.

• Versatile Compatibility: Designed for use with CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, providing a universal solution for 1 1/8" line sets.
• Field Serviceable: The take-apart STAS489T shell allows for quick replacement of desiccant cores without cutting the line.
• High Pressure Rating: Rated for a maximum working pressure of 680 psig, suitable for modern high-pressure systems.
• Optimized Flow: Features oversized fittings and internal hardware to minimize pressure drop across the drier.
• Robust Construction: Sturdy steel shell with copper connections ensures easy brazing and a leak-free installation.

• Which cores are compatible with this shell? This unit uses standard 48 cubic inch cores, such as the HX-48 for high moisture or H-48 for standard acid/moisture removal.
• Can this be used on the suction side? Yes, the STAS "T" style can be used for suction service by removing the pipe plug and installing an access valve, though it is primarily designed as a liquid line drier.
• Is the desiccant core included with the 053005? No, the 053005 is a shell-only unit to allow technicians to select the specific core required for the application.
