Copeland 998-0669-13 Gasket Kit

The Copeland 998-0669-13 Gasket Kit is the OEM-specified complete gasket set for Copeland's K-body semi-hermetic compressor line, covering the broad K-series lineup: KAE, KAH, KAJ, KAK, KAT, KAG, KAL, KAA, KAM, and KAN models. It supplies every gasket needed to reseal the compressor from head to crankcase — head gasket, valve plate gasket, and crankcase gaskets — restoring the seal integrity that keeps refrigerant and oil contained under the high cycling loads typical of commercial refrigeration and air conditioning duty. This is the correct genuine-Copeland kit to reach for any time a K-series compressor is opened for valve plate service, crankcase inspection, or any repair that breaks the head-to-body seal.

Because the K-body platform spans ten separate model prefixes, technicians sometimes confuse this kit with the narrower 998-0669-15 Gasket Set, which Copeland specifies only for the KAL and KAT models within the same family — order the 998-0669-13 kit whenever the compressor falls outside that narrower KAL/KAT scope, or when standardizing gasket stock across multiple K-series units. Every gasket in the set is manufactured to Copeland's original material specification and thickness, which matters for maintaining correct valve plate clearance and preventing the compression-ratio drift that undersized aftermarket gaskets can cause.

Key Benefits

• Broad K-Series Coverage: One kit correctly fits ten K-body model variants — KAE, KAH, KAJ, KAK, KAT, KAG, KAL, KAA, KAM, and KAN — reducing the number of gasket SKUs a shop needs to stock.
• Complete Reseal In One Kit: Includes the head gasket, valve plate gasket, and crankcase gaskets needed for a full compressor teardown and reassembly, not just a single seal point.
• OEM Material Spec: Manufactured to Copeland's original gasket thickness and material, preserving correct valve plate clearance and compression ratio.
• Genuine Copeland Fit: Eliminates the leak call-backs that come from generic aftermarket gasket sets that don't match factory tolerances on K-series compressors.

Common Questions

• Does this fit every K-series Copeland compressor? It covers the KAE, KAH, KAJ, KAK, KAT, KAG, KAL, KAA, KAM, and KAN models. For a compressor limited to KAL or KAT only, the narrower 998-0669-15 gasket set is also a valid, more specific option.
• What's included in the kit? A full set of head, valve plate, and crankcase gaskets sized for the K-body platform — everything needed to reseal the compressor after opening it for service.
• When do I need this kit? Any time a K-series compressor is opened for valve plate replacement, crankcase work, or head removal — reusing old gaskets after disassembly risks a refrigerant or oil leak.
