Bravo BRV-M18FC-230VI Universal Floor Ceiling Indoor Unit 18000 Btu 230V Multi-zone Mini Split

Product Description

The Bravo BRV-M18FC-230VI is an 18,000 BTU/h universal floor/ceiling (UFC) indoor unit designed for ductless multi-zone mini split systems. Operating on a 208/230-volt, single-phase, 60 Hz power supply, this unit mounts at low-wall or ceiling height, making it well-suited for spaces where a standard wall-mount or ceiling cassette is not practical. It is part of the Bravo Milano Series and uses inverter technology to deliver variable-capacity heating and cooling. Licensed HVAC technicians typically select this unit when a flexible mounting orientation is required without sacrificing capacity. The UFC cabinet pairs with a compatible Bravo multi-zone outdoor condenser to complete the system.

The BRV-M18FC-230VI is intended for residential and light-commercial multi-zone applications where independent temperature control across several rooms is needed. It has been found in 2-zone, 3-zone, and 5-zone system configurations paired with outdoor units such as the BRV-M24-230VO, BRV-M30-230VO, and BRV-M42-230VO. Typical install scenarios include open-concept living areas, server rooms, or commercial suites where ceiling or low-wall placement is preferred over a standard high-wall mount. This indoor unit does not include an outdoor condenser and must be matched with a compatible Bravo Milano multi-zone outdoor unit.
