A compressor assembly (10) is disclosed including a compressor mechanism (44) mounted within a hermetically sealed housing (12). The compressor mechanism includes a crankcase (46) having a suction inlet opening (206) providing communication into a suction cavity (60) within the crankcase. A suction line adaptor (200) is provided for attaching to a suction line of a refrigeration system to introduce suction gas from the exterior of the housing to the suction inlet opening within. The suction line connector includes a fitting (202) mounted to the housing sidewall (14) and having a bore (204) communicating therethrough, and a tube insert (208) extending between the fitting and the suction inlet opening. The tube insert includes annular protuberances (238, 240) at opposite ends (210, 212) thereof, each protuberance having a groove (242, 244) into which an O-ring seal (246, 248) is retained. The opposite ends of the tube insert are sealingly received within the fitting bore and the suction inlet opening, respectively, whereby limited axial, radial, and torsional movement of the compressor mechanism relative to the housing is permitted while maintaining the integrity of the suction tube connector against leakage from the interior of the housing (74). |
