Sporlan C-053-S Filter Drier 3/8 ODF Solder Compact 6.2×2.6 Design

Description

Product Overview

The Sporlan C-053-S Filter Drier is engineered to provide reliable moisture removal and filtration for a wide range of refrigeration and HVAC applications. Constructed from high‑grade brass and stainless steel components, the unit offers superior resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring a long service life even in demanding industrial environments. Its 3/8 ODF (outside diameter female) solder connection simplifies installation on standard copper tubing, reducing the need for additional fittings and minimizing potential leak points. The compact dimensions—measuring just 6.2 inches in length, 2.6 inches in width, and 2.5 inches in height—allow the drier to fit into tight spaces where larger units would be impractical.

Designed to meet the rigorous standards of the industrial hardware sector, the C-053-S carries the National Stock Number 4130-00-050-0267 and complies with industry specifications for pressure rating and temperature tolerance. The filter element utilizes a high‑efficiency cellulose media that captures moisture, contaminants, and particulates, protecting downstream components such as compressors, expansion valves, and evaporators. The integrated drier element also helps to prevent ice formation, enhancing system efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

Usage

This filter drier is ideally suited for commercial refrigeration units, walk‑in coolers, ice machines, and air‑conditioning systems that require precise moisture control. Its robust construction makes it a reliable choice for both new installations and retrofits in existing equipment. The 3/8 ODF solder connection is compatible with standard copper lines, allowing technicians to quickly integrate the unit into a variety of pipe configurations without the need for specialized adapters.

In addition to traditional refrigeration, the C-053-S performs well in industrial process cooling applications where high humidity levels can compromise system performance. The drier’s compact form factor enables installation in confined mechanical rooms, under shelving, or within custom enclosures where space is at a premium. By maintaining a dry and clean refrigerant circuit, the filter drier helps to extend the lifespan of critical components and improves overall energy efficiency.
