Description

Rheem VPA-5817-7SRD Accumulator – 164 oz. R-410A cap, 181 oz. R-22 cap, 7/8 in. Solder Fitting replaces PA5083-17-7C.U-tube design allows for maximum flow of 410a refrigerant with minimum pressure drop and oil entrapment Inlet flow deflector guides refrigerant toward accumulator wall for smooth flow and gradual expansion HVAC accumulator should normally be sized to be capable of holding 50% of the refrigerant charge in thermostatic expansion valve systems, and 70% in fixed orifice systems Proper sizing ensures optimum liquid refrigerant and oil flow back to the AC unit compressor Protective screen and orifice assembly protects against foreign particles and contaminants from affecting metering function Solid copper connections Powder paint coating exceeds ASTM 500 hour salt spray tests Integral 430F fuse plug is included as a safety feature for releasing internal system pressure in the event the accumulator is exposed to excessively high temperatures Suitable for R-22 and R-410A, 355 psig design pressure
