The Bard 5202-013 suction accumulator is an OEM refrigerant-side protection component used on Bard wall mount air conditioners and heat pumps to help prevent liquid refrigerant from returning to the compressor during off-cycle or low load conditions. This accumulator is specified with a 5/8 inch connection and a 0.060 inch metering orifice, helping manage oil return while reducing the risk of compressor damage from floodback. If you are addressing compressor protection concerns, replacing a damaged or restricted accumulator, or restoring the sealed system to Bard factory design, the 5202-013 is the correct style of part to keep the suction line circuit operating as intended on compatible Bard equipment.
