Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The Four Seasons Filter Drier 33391 is engineered with a steel body measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length, providing a robust housing for the internal desiccant. The desiccant is non-replaceable and effectively removes moisture from the refrigerant, preventing corrosion and system damage. Both the inlet and outlet fittings are male insert o-ring types, with the inlet fitting thread diameter at 0.625 inches and an inlet diameter of 0.375 inches (3/8 inch). This ensures a secure and leak-free connection within the A/C system. The unit does not include a moisture indicator window or fuse plug but comes with necessary gaskets and seals, including two green o-rings (part number 24606), to facilitate proper sealing during installation.
