Abstract
A foot plate for mounting a compressor includes a mounting plate, a pair of upwardly extending flanges, a pair of downwardly extending flanges and an upwardly extending mounting flange. The mounting flange is utilized to secure a compressor by being attached to the shell of the compressor. When tandem compressor assemblies are used, the pair of upwardly extending flanges provide clearance for a pair of rails which interconnect the tandem compressors without having to modify the foot plates. In one embodiment, the foot plates are welded or brazed to the rails. In another embodiment, a set of grommets position the foot plate on the rail and the foot plate is bolted to the rail. In another embodiment, a set of grommets position and secure the foot plate to the rail.
