Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the receiver drier or accumulator style before ordering, since this part is a direct-fit desiccant cartridge kit rather than a universal component. Match the vehicle application by year, make, and model, and confirm the existing cartridge dimensions against the listed 1.500-inch outside diameter and 16.000-inch length. Replace the gasket or seal during service and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s A/C evacuation and recharge procedures after installation.
