The accumulator/filter drier stores refrigerant and, through its internal desiccant, works to remove moisture and contaminants that flushing cannot clear from the A/C system. As a manufacturer of accumulators and filter driers, Four Seasons produces these units in an ISO/TS16949 and ISO14001 certified facility using state-of-the-art equipment and quality materials.
Backed by over 50 years of mobile A/C experience from Four Seasons.
What does this A/C accumulator with hose do?
It stores refrigerant and uses an internal desiccant to help remove moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system that flushing cannot clear.
Does it fit my vehicle?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1987-1988 Ford Mustang. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your specific vehicle.
Are gaskets and O-rings included?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, O-rings, and seal are included to make installation easier.
Should I replace the accumulator when servicing the A/C?
Replacement is recommended anytime the system is opened, and it is required to validate the compressor warranty. A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant within hours.
Why can't the system just be flushed instead?
The contaminants and moisture captured by the desiccant cannot be removed by flushing, so replacing the accumulator/filter drier is the effective way to restore this protection.
