Sporlan 404260 HPC-165-HH Filter Drier

The Sporlan 404260 HPC-165-HH Filter Drier is a high-capacity heat pump liquid line filter drier specifically engineered for reversible cycle systems. Field-proven as a technician's standard for system clean-up, this 5/8" SAE flare unit utilizes a 16-cubic-inch molded porous core to provide maximum moisture, acid, and solid contaminant removal. Unlike standard driers, the Sporlan HPC-165-HH features internal stainless steel check valves that ensure refrigerant always flows through the desiccant from the outside in, regardless of the cycle. This bi-directional filter drier design ensures that dirt trapped during the cooling cycle is not flushed back into the system when the unit switches to heating mode.

Built for the rigors of R-410A refrigeration systems, this unit is UL listed for a maximum rated pressure of 650 psig. The "HH" core designation indicates an activated charcoal blend specifically formulated for burnout clean-up, effectively removing wax, oleoresins, and varnish that can damage compressors and plug TEVs. Whether you are performing a routine installation or a major repair, the Sporlan 404260 provides the reliability needed for residential and commercial HVAC units up to 8 tons.

Key Benefits for Technicians:

• Uninterrupted Protection: Integrated check valves prevent the re-release of captured debris during flow reversal.
• Advanced Core Technology: The HPC-165-HH core uses a specialized blend of desiccants for superior acid removal and moisture adsorption.
• Extreme Durability: Epoxy powder-coated shell resists corrosion in harsh environments and handles high-pressure refrigerants like R-410A.
• Simplified Service: Short overall length and common 5/8" Flare connections allow for quick field replacement in tight cabinets.
• Broad Compatibility: Suitable for use with HCFC, HFC, and HFO refrigerants including R-22 and R-134a.

Common Questions:

Can the HPC-165-HH be used on a standard AC system?
While designed for heat pumps, it can be used on air conditioning systems where bi-directional flow or enhanced clean-up (HH core) is required, provided the 5/8" SAE fitting matches.

What makes the 'HH' core different from a standard core?
The HH core contains activated charcoal, which is essential for removing wax and products of oil decomposition following a compressor burnout or in low-temperature systems.

Is this drier compatible with POE oil?
Yes, the 16-cubic-inch molded core is specifically engineered to handle the moisture and acid concerns associated with POE and PVE lubricants.
