What does this accumulator/filter drier do?

Does it come with installation hardware?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included for installation.
Which vehicles does part 83222 fit?

Why should I replace it when servicing the A/C system?
A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within hours, making the unit ineffective. Four Seasons states it must be replaced anytime the system is serviced.

According to Four Seasons, replacing the accumulator/filter drier is required to validate the compressor warranty.
