Copeland 020-0113-00 Valve Plate Gasket 3RK

Product Description

The COPELAND 020-0113-00 is a valve plate gasket designed for use in Copeland 3RK series reciprocating refrigeration compressors. This gasket seals the valve plate assembly within the compressor head, maintaining proper compression and preventing refrigerant bypass between the suction and discharge chambers. Correct sealing at the valve plate is critical to compressor efficiency and longevity. This part is sold as an individual unit and is intended for installation by licensed HVAC-R technicians performing compressor valve service or rebuilds.

This valve plate gasket is used during compressor teardown and reassembly procedures on 3RK series units. It is a direct OEM replacement component, ensuring correct material composition and dimensional fit for the valve plate interface. Technicians performing compressor overhauls, addressing refrigerant bypass, or replacing worn valve assemblies will typically require this gasket as part of the repair. It is applicable to commercial and industrial refrigeration systems where Copeland 3RK compressors are installed.

Installation Notes

Installation of this gasket requires recovery of all refrigerant from the system before opening the compressor head, in accordance with EPA Section 608 regulations. A licensed HVAC-R technician should perform this repair using appropriate torque sequences for the valve plate fasteners per the compressor service manual. Inspect mating surfaces for scoring or debris before installing the new gasket. Do not reuse a compressed or deformed gasket.
