Keep your air conditioning system dry and protected with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator with Hose Assembly / A/C Refrigerant Suction Hose (MPN 83144). It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2007 Ford Escape, 2005-2009 Mazda Tribute, and 2006-2007 Mercury Mariner — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. The accumulator/filter drier removes moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant that flushing can't clear, which is why it should be replaced whenever the system is serviced.
Because a leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within hours, replacing the accumulator/filter drier is essential — and it is required to validate compressor warranty when the system is opened for service.
What vehicles does this fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2007 Ford Escape, 2005-2009 Mazda Tribute, and 2006-2007 Mercury Mariner. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine for your vehicle.
What does an A/C accumulator/filter drier do?
It acts as a filter, using a desiccant bag to remove moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant that can't be cleared by flushing the system.
Are the seals included?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included for the installation.
Do I need to replace it when servicing the A/C?
Yes. It must be replaced anytime the system is serviced, and replacement is required to validate compressor warranty.
Why does the desiccant need replacing?
A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, making the accumulator/filter drier ineffective, so a fresh unit is important after any exposure.
