Liquid Line Filter Drier
Filter driers are specifically designed for R-22 or Puron refrigerant.
Only operate with the appropriate drier using factory authorized
components.
It is recommended that the liquid line drier be installed at the indoor unit.
Placing the drier near the TXV allows additional protection to the TXV
as the liquid line drier also acts as a strainer.
