Rectorseal M12216 Dual Run Capacitor 80/7.5 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The RECTORSEAL M12216 is a dual run capacitor rated at 80/7.5 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts, designed for use in single-phase HVAC systems. Dual run capacitors serve two motor loads simultaneously — typically the compressor and the condenser fan motor — from a single cylindrical housing. The round form factor fits standard capacitor brackets and retaining straps used throughout the industry. Licensed HVAC technicians install this component as a direct replacement when a failed or weak capacitor is causing motor start or run problems. At 2.5 inches in diameter and 5.25 inches in height, the M12216 fits most residential and light-commercial equipment capacitor compartments without modification.

This capacitor is suited for residential and light-commercial split-system air conditioners and heat pumps where the original equipment specifies a dual round capacitor at 80/7.5 MFD and 440 volts. The 440-volt rating provides an acceptable safety margin above the 370-volt systems common in residential equipment, making it a widely accepted replacement value in the field. It is installed in the control compartment of the outdoor condensing unit, wired to the compressor and fan motor terminals.

Key Features

• Dual-section design powers compressor and condenser fan motor from one capacitor
• 80/7.5 MFD rating covers high-demand compressor start and continuous fan run loads
• 440-volt rating suits both 370-volt and 440-volt residential and light-commercial systems
• Round form factor fits standard capacitor brackets and retaining hardware
• Compact footprint at 2.5 inches diameter and 5.25 inches height

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement dual run capacitor for residential and light-commercial air conditioning and heat pump condensing units requiring an 80/7.5 MFD, 440-volt round capacitor.

Installation Notes

A licensed HVAC technician should perform capacitor replacement. Disconnect and lock out all power to the condensing unit before opening the control compartment — capacitors store a charge and must be safely discharged before handling. Use insulated tools and verify the replacement MFD and voltage ratings match or exceed the original equipment specification before wiring. Work should comply with applicable local electrical codes and the NEC.
