What It Helps Address

• Reduced cooling performance from a saturated receiver drier
• Debris management in the refrigerant circuit
• Service replacement needs on pad-mount A/C systems
• Restoration work on older R-134a-equipped vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s A/C system layout and mounting style before ordering. This RD1200C receiver drier is listed for pad-mount applications, so the mounting configuration must match the vehicle. Confirm refrigerant system compatibility and replace the receiver drier during A/C service when the system has been opened or contaminated.
