Keep the refrigerant flowing clean and dry with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator with Hose Assembly / A/C Refrigerant Suction Hose (MPN 55606). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 1991-1993 Ford Taurus, 1991-1994 Lincoln Continental, and 1991-1993 Mercury Sable — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
The accumulator/filter drier acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system — contaminants that flushing cannot remove, which is why replacing the accumulator/filter drier is essential during service. Moisture absorption is handled by a desiccant bag; a leaking or "open" system can saturate that bag within a few hours, making the unit ineffective.
Replacing the accumulator/filter drier is required to validate compressor warranty and should be done anytime the system is serviced.
What does this accumulator with hose assembly do?
It routes refrigerant on the suction side while its filter drier removes moisture and contaminants from the A/C system, protecting the components downstream.
Which vehicles does MPN 55606 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1991-1993 Ford Taurus, 1991-1994 Lincoln Continental, and 1991-1993 Mercury Sable. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
Are seals and o-rings included?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included for easy installation.
Why is it sold under two part-type names?
It's listed as both an A/C Accumulator with Hose Assembly and an A/C Refrigerant Suction Hose because the assembly serves both roles.
Do I need to replace it when servicing the A/C?
The manufacturer notes replacement is required to validate compressor warranty and that the unit must be replaced anytime the system is serviced.
