Also, with the wires loose like this, as well as on my compressor and LL's, they are intended to be mounted in an electrical rated enclosure. The people that sold this would not know this, but you can not have the capacitor and wiring exposed in a DIY compressor box. Sorry, but I don't write NEC code.

If you use a DIY compressor box like most that build decent ones, you could get away with a low cost NEMA 1 enclosure with a couple vents for air flow.

OK Guy's and Gals, if you get a compressor like this that has an external capacitor, not protected with a cover integral to the motor, and loose wires that do not terminate in a wiring box ON the motor, they MUST BE mounted in a NEMA rated electrical enclosure, or a UL listed assembly, which they were originally intended for.

If I didn't mention this...





here is the tag, im lost on the enclosure your talking about.
