Rheem-Ruud CMROS240K1603 Single-Phase Inverter-Driven Rotary Compressor for RD17AZ24

The Rheem-Ruud CMROS240K1603 is an OEM replacement single-phase, inverter-driven rotary compressor designed specifically for the Rheem/Ruud RD17AZ24 Endeavor® Line 2-Ton side-discharge universal heat pump. This is a direct-fit factory replacement compressor that restores full inverter-drive variable-speed operation to your heat pump system.
