Bravo BRV-MP18AHUW-230VI Multi-position Air Handler 18000 Btu/h Single Zone Ducted Mini Split Heat Pump R32 208-230V

Product Description

The Bravo BRV-MP18AHUW-230VI is an 18,000 BTU/h indoor air handler designed for single-zone ducted mini split heat pump systems. It operates on 208-230V single-phase, 60 Hz power and uses R32 refrigerant, making it a fit for residential ducted cooling and heating applications where multi-position installation flexibility is required. The unit pairs with the BRV-SD18HI-230VO outdoor condensing unit to form a complete inverter-driven heat pump system. It supports 24-volt low-voltage control wiring and is engineered for integration with compatible third-party controls and thermostats. Licensed HVAC technicians handle installation and commissioning of this equipment.

The BRV-MP18AHUW-230VI is intended for residential single-zone applications where a central ducted delivery is preferred over a wall-mount or cassette configuration. The multi-position design allows the air handler to be installed in horizontal or vertical orientations to suit attic, closet, or mechanical room installs. Side discharge airflow suits tight mechanical spaces where direct plenum connections are required. This unit operates as part of the Bravo single-zone heat pump system, pairing indoors with the BRV-SD18HI-230VO outdoor unit.

Key Features

• 18,000 BTU/h class capacity for single-zone residential heating and cooling
• Multi-position installation support — horizontal and vertical orientations available
• Side discharge configuration for duct connection in confined mechanical spaces
• R32 refrigerant for reduced global warming potential versus R410A systems
• 208-230V single-phase, 60 Hz power supply with 24-volt low-voltage control interface
• Inverter-driven system operation for variable-capacity efficiency when paired with the matching outdoor unit

Compatibility

Designed to pair with the Bravo BRV-SD18HI-230VO outdoor condensing unit as a matched single-zone ducted mini split heat pump system. Supports 24-volt low-voltage controls and is designed for integration with compatible third-party control components.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding the appropriate EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling certification for R32 systems. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power at the circuit breaker before beginning any work on the air handler or associated wiring. Verify that the electrical supply circuit is sized and protected in accordance with the equipment nameplate and applicable NEC requirements before energizing the system. Follow the manufacturer installation documentation for refrigerant line sizing, line set length limits, and condensate drain routing.
