Keep the air conditioning drying properly and moving refrigerant on the suction side with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator with Hose Assembly / A/C Refrigerant Suction Hose (MPN 83042). It's a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 2001-2005 Ford Escape, 2001-2005 Mazda Tribute, and 2005 Mercury Mariner — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.

The accumulator/filter drier acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C system — contaminants that can't be cleared by flushing, which is why replacing the unit is essential during service. Moisture is absorbed through a desiccant bag; a leaking or "open" system can saturate that bag within a few hours and leave the accumulator ineffective.

  • Desiccant absorption: uses a high-quality desiccant for appropriate moisture absorption.
  • Leak-free build: quality welds for a durable, leak-free design.
  • Installation-ready: the necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included.
  • Backed by experience: produced in an ISO/TS16949 & ISO14001 certified facility.

Replacing the accumulator/filter drier is required to validate compressor warranty and should be done anytime the system is serviced. Listed under both the A/C Accumulator with Hose Assembly and A/C Refrigerant Suction Hose part-type names.
