Copeland ZR42K5E-PFV-800 Scroll Compressor

The Copeland ZR42K5E-PFV-800 is a high-performance 3.5-ton scroll compressor engineered specifically for residential and light commercial air conditioning service. Designed for 208-230V, single-phase, 60Hz systems, this unit delivers a nominal 42,800 BTU/hr and is optimized for both R-22 and R-407C refrigerants. As a veteran HVACR tech knows, the move from original R-22 equipment to this service replacement requires a reliable drop-in that matches existing footprints; this model features a 7.5" x 7.5" mounting base and standard 7/8" suction and 1/2" discharge stub connections. This hermetic scroll compressor utilizes polyol ester oil (POE), making it compatible with modern HFC retrofits while maintaining the durability required for legacy HCFC systems. It is the direct technical replacement for multiple OEM and aftermarket part numbers, including 921050, S1-015-04776-001, 1450-411, and 97M91. With 70% fewer moving parts than traditional reciprocating models, the ZR42K5E-PFV-800 offers superior liquid handling and thermal protection, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding outdoor environments.

• Broad Compatibility: Dual-qualified for R-22 refrigerant and R-407C applications using POE oil.
• Direct Fitment: Replaces specific Rheem, Goodman, and York compressor models without line set modification.
• Enhanced Reliability: Features internal pressure relief and thermal overload protection to prevent motor burnout.
• Quiet Operation: The scroll technology design significantly reduces vibration and decibel levels compared to older pistons.
• Installation Ready: Typically includes a molded plug wiring harness for faster field electrical connections.

Is the ZR42K5E-PFV-800 a direct replacement for an R-22 compressor?
Yes, this model is the industry-standard R-22 scroll compressor replacement. Because it comes pre-charged with POE oil, it can be used in existing R-22 systems or updated R-407C systems, provided the proper retrofitting procedures are followed.

What capacitor is required for this 230V single-phase unit?
This compressor requires a 55 MFD / 370V run capacitor. Always replace the capacitor during a compressor change-out to ensure the motor starts under proper load and maintains efficiency.

Does this unit come with the electrical plug?
Most ZR42K5E-PFV-800 shipments include the molded plug wiring harness in the box, which simplifies the wiring process for technicians in the field.
