Copeland 020-0612-00 Head Gasket 3A 3R

Product Description

The COPELAND 020-0612-00 is an OEM replacement head gasket designed for Copeland reciprocating compressors in the 3A and 3R series. The head gasket seals the joint between the valve plate and cylinder head, maintaining compression integrity and preventing refrigerant or oil migration across mating surfaces. This part is installed by licensed HVAC and refrigeration technicians during compressor overhaul, valve service, or any procedure requiring cylinder head removal. Proper sealing at this interface is critical to compressor efficiency and long-term reliability.

This head gasket is used in commercial and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications where Copeland 3A and 3R series reciprocating compressors are installed. It is a direct OEM replacement sourced from Copeland, making it appropriate for service work where original factory specifications must be maintained. Technicians performing valve plate service, top-end rebuilds, or head replacements on qualifying compressor models will use this gasket as part of the reassembly process.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed refrigeration or HVAC technician. Before beginning any compressor top-end service, recover all refrigerant per EPA Section 608 requirements and isolate the compressor from system pressure. Inspect the valve plate and cylinder head mating surfaces for warping or debris before installing the new gasket. Do not reuse a compressed or damaged gasket.
