4 Digit Manufacturing Year
The 4-digit year of manufacturing can be obtained by referencing the Copeland serial number on the specified component’s nameplate. The first two characters used in Copeland’s serial number indicate the year of manufacture and all product serial numbers follow the same logic.
The two-digit year 25 equates to the four-digit year = 2025, 26 = 2026, 27= 2027, and so on.
Some products have the year of manufacture directly printed on the label.
