Compressor Change

[COBRAKAI]

Hi guys looking for some help..

Im looking to change a compressor and wondering what would be an ideal but cheep comp to replace it with. The one installed is a Electrolux mp14tb 1ph - 50HZ R404 - 1/2HP. I sourced a straight replacement and it was 180 from hawco. Is this about average for this comp? Also its a med/high back pressure, What should my back pressure be roughly running at. Thanks hope yous can help ...

R404 med to high, guessing it's running a fridge unit.
Should be around 45 psi.

hi bryan thanks for getting back to me yes its on a mafirol overcounter server. I saw a mp14tb comp on ebay but its a 5/8 horsepower do you think this it to large?

To be honest I would stay away from eBay.
You never know what your gona get and could cost you a lot more in the long run.
I would get the like for like from hawko.
