Bard part number 5202-018 is an OEM suction accumulator used in the refrigeration circuit of Bard wall mounted air conditioners to help protect the compressor by trapping returning liquid refrigerant and managing oil return during off cycle and start up. This accumulator is specified with a 7/8 inch connection and a 0.055 orifice, making correct fit and flow characteristics critical for maintaining proper suction line operation and long term compressor reliability. If you are replacing a failed compressor or correcting floodback concerns, matching the original Bard 5202-018 accumulator is a smart way to restore factory intended system performance and serviceability.
