Keep moisture and debris out of your A/C system with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier / Desiccant Element 83416, a Filter Drier Desiccant Bag Kit supplied with a plug.

The receiver drier acts as a filter, capturing moisture and contaminants that circulate through the refrigerant and cannot be removed by flushing, which is why replacing the drier is part of a proper A/C service.
Desiccant-bag moisture control: a desiccant bag absorbs moisture in the system; a leaking or open system can saturate the bag quickly, so a fresh unit is installed when the system is opened.
Leak-resistant build: quality welds are used for a durable, leak-free design paired with high-quality desiccant for appropriate absorption.
Install-ready kit: the necessary gaskets, o-rings, and seal are included for installation.
Replacing the drier whenever the system is serviced is also required to validate many compressor warranties.
