Emerson Flow Control (Alco) 049179 5/8" SAE Suction Line Filter

The Emerson Flow Control (Alco) 049179 5/8” SAE Suction Line Filter is an essential Component in HVAC systems to prevent refrigeration and air conditioning equipment from being damaged by contaminants that may circulate in the refrigerant lines. This filter is intended for suction lines and has a 5/8 “SAE connection for its application. The filter works by capturing such particles as metal burrs, welding spatter, and other contaminants that may be introduced into the system during installation, service, or because of their damage within the components. These contaminants can limit refrigerant flow, limit system performance and in severe cases can cause physical damage to the compressor.
