York 364-47667-009 Top Head Kit

The York 364-47667-009 Top Head Kit is a genuine YORK Applied service kit from the 364-47667 series of top head valve replacement kits. York's service literature for its Model J hermetic reciprocating compressors describes this style of kit as the way to rebuild the valve section under the top head, and distributors list the neighboring dash numbers 364-47667-006 and 364-47667-008 as Top Head Valve Replacement Kits. The series runs through many dash numbers (from 364-47667-003 up through 364-47667-016), and the dash number is what ties a kit to a particular compressor, so the -009 is ordered by its full number, not by the base number alone.

In York's Renewal Parts bulletin 180.23-RP4 for the Model J Style G hermetic compressors (JG43, JG63, JG83, JG44, JG64 and JG84), the 364-47667-010 kit and the 364-47666-020 kit are the top head valve kits, built from the suction valve, discharge valve, valve springs, top head gasket and discharge manifold gasket for the two cylinders under one head. On those compressors York calls for two kits on a 4-cylinder machine, three on a 6-cylinder and four on an 8-cylinder, one per head. The same bulletin lists the wave-spring parts that go with the 364-47666 style, including the 664-49291-000 suction valve plate assembly, the 364-48785-000 and 664-48037-000 discharge valve cage assemblies and the 222-09742-800 wave springs, and it lists the top head overhaul gasket kits 364-48642 (4-cylinder), 364-48643 (6-cylinder) and 364-48644 (8-cylinder). Use that bulletin for context, and confirm which kit your own compressor calls for before ordering the -009.

The valves under the top head are what actually pump the gas. The suction valve opens to let low-pressure gas into the cylinder on the downstroke and the discharge valve opens to let compressed gas out on the upstroke, and both have to seat tightly every stroke. When valve plates, reeds or springs wear, crack or carbon up, the compressor recirculates gas internally, which shows up as lost capacity, low discharge pressure, suction pressure that will not pull down, long run times and a hot discharge line. A compression test (pulling the suction down with the discharge isolated and watching how fast it climbs back) will confirm a leaking valve section before you open the head. Whenever the top head comes off, replace the gaskets and clean the sealing surfaces; inspect the cylinder walls and valve seats; pump down or recover the refrigerant per EPA Section 608 first; torque the head bolts in sequence; and evacuate before bringing the compressor back into service.

Common Questions

• What is the York 364-47667-009? It is a top head kit in York's 364-47667 series of top head valve replacement kits, used to service the suction and discharge valve section under a compressor head.
• Which compressor does the -009 fit? The dash number ties each 364-47667 kit to a specific compressor, so match 364-47667-009 to your compressor's model and serial number (the York bulletin lists 364-47667-010 for the JG43, JG63, JG83, JG44, JG64 and JG84). Contact our team if you want help confirming the fit.
• How many kits does a compressor need? On the Model J Style G compressors in York's bulletin, each kit covers one head (two cylinders): two kits for a 4-cylinder, three for a 6-cylinder and four for an 8-cylinder compressor.
