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.
