Copeland 998-0669-15 Gasket Set

The Copeland 998-0669-15 Gasket Set is the OEM-specified gasket kit built specifically for Copeland's KAL and KAT model semi-hermetic compressors within the K-body platform. Unlike the broader 998-0669-13 K-series gasket kit, which covers ten model prefixes across the K-body family, this set is dimensioned and manufactured to Copeland's exact specification for just the KAL and KAT variants — the correct choice when a shop wants a precise, single-model match rather than a broad cross-compatible kit.

The set provides the head, valve plate, and crankcase gaskets needed for a complete reseal any time a KAL or KAT compressor is opened for valve plate service, crankcase inspection, or head removal. All gaskets are produced to Copeland's original material thickness, which is critical on the K-body platform: an undersized or generic aftermarket gasket changes valve plate clearance and can shift the compression ratio enough to affect discharge temperature and long-term reliability. Technicians standardizing service across a mixed K-series fleet should keep both the 998-0669-15 and the broader 998-0669-13 on hand, since the two kits are not interchangeable model-for-model.

Key Benefits

• Exact KAL/KAT Fit: Manufactured specifically for the KAL and KAT K-body models — not a broad, multi-model gasket set.
• Complete Reseal In One Kit: Covers the head gasket, valve plate gasket, and crankcase gaskets in a single order.
• Correct Valve Plate Clearance: OEM gasket thickness preserves the factory compression ratio and discharge temperature on KAL/KAT compressors.
• Genuine Copeland Part: Avoids the leak-back call that generic gasket sets can cause on precision K-body seal surfaces.

Common Questions

• Is this the same as the 998-0669-13 kit? No. The 998-0669-13 covers ten K-series model prefixes; this 998-0669-15 set is specified only for KAL and KAT models.
• How do I confirm my compressor is a KAL or KAT? Check the compressor nameplate model number — it will begin with KAL or KAT. If it's a different K-series prefix (KAE, KAH, KAJ, KAK, KAG, KAA, KAM, or KAN), order the 998-0669-13 kit instead.
• What's included? The full set of head, valve plate, and crankcase gaskets needed to reseal the compressor after it's opened for valve plate or crankcase service.
