Copeland 998-0008-33 Oil Pump Kit
The Copeland 998-0008-33 Oil Pump Kit is a critical OEM component designed for high-performance lubrication in Copametic compressors. Engineered for positive displacement oil pump operation, this assembly is essential for 5 HP and larger compressors, including 3 HP NR models. It ensures consistent oil flow through the crankshaft to vital bearing surfaces and connecting rods, preventing catastrophic mechanical failure due to lubrication loss. This HVAC compressor oil pump replacement is compatible with a broad range of models, specifically covering 2D, 3D, 4, 6, 8, and 9 series compressors. The kit includes the necessary oil pump gasket and specialized adapter rings required for proper seating against the compressor bearing housing. As a technician, ensure the drive shaft flat end is correctly aligned with the crankshaft slot during installation to prevent damage to the pump tang or the crankshaft itself. Using genuine Copeland HVAC parts maintains system integrity and ensures the pump meets the required 60 psi minimum pressure threshold during operational testing.
Key Benefits- Universal Compatibility: Fits a wide array of Copeland semi-hermetic compressors including M, N, 2D, 3D, 4, 6, 8, and 9 models.
- Complete Installation Package: Includes the 998-0008-33 oil pump, multiple gasket options (020-1204-00 or 020-1267-00), and the required chamfered adapter ring.
- Optimized Lubrication: Provides positive displacement flow to protect internal bearings and rods under high-demand industrial refrigeration applications.
- Rugged Construction: Built to withstand high-pressure environments and critical tolerances required for long-term refrigeration cycles.
Which compressor models is this kit compatible with?
This kit is designed for Copeland 4D and 6D compressors as well as 2D, 3D, 8D, and 9 series models. It is the standard service replacement for most 5 HP+ semi-hermetic units.
What is the proper torque spec for the mounting bolts?
When installing this oil pump assembly onto the bearing housing, use the six bolts provided and torque them to 25 ft-lb to ensure a leak-proof seal without damaging the housing.
Do I need to prime the pump or lubricate the gaskets?
While the pump is self-priming once connected to the crankshaft, technicians should apply a light coat of refrigeration oil to fibrous gaskets tools; however, modern metal gaskets should be installed dry to ensure proper seating.
