Bravo BRV-SD18HI-230VO 18000 Btu Multi-position Air Handler Side Discharge Heat Pump Inverter R32 230V Single Zone

Product Description

The Bravo BRV-SD18HI-230VO is an 18,000 BTU single-zone heat pump outdoor unit designed for residential heating and cooling applications. Operating on 208-230V single-phase, 60 Hz power, this inverter-driven unit uses R32 refrigerant and delivers side-discharge airflow for flexible installation placement. It pairs with the BRV-MP18AHUW-230VI multi-position indoor air handler to form a complete ducted mini-split heat pump system. Licensed HVAC technicians install and commission this unit as part of a single-zone system serving residential spaces requiring year-round comfort from one compact outdoor cabinet.

This outdoor unit is intended for residential single-zone applications where a multi-position ducted air handler is preferred over a standard wall-mount indoor head. The side-discharge design supports installation in tighter equipment yards or along building walls where top-discharge clearances are limited. The system integrates with 24-volt control wiring and is designed for flexible compatibility with third-party components where voltage and refrigerant requirements are met. Typical installations serve living areas, additions, or open-plan spaces in light residential construction.

Key Features

• 18,000 BTU capacity inverter-driven heat pump for year-round heating and cooling

Compatibility

Designed to pair with the Bravo BRV-MP18AHUW-230VI multi-position indoor air handler as a single-zone ducted mini-split heat pump system operating on 208-230V single-phase power with R32 refrigerant.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding an EPA Section 608 certification for R32 refrigerant handling. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power before servicing or connecting refrigerant lines. Follow local mechanical and electrical codes, including NEC requirements for disconnect placement and circuit protection, and confirm outdoor unit clearances per manufacturer documentation before mounting. Do not attempt to charge or recover R32 refrigerant without proper recovery equipment rated for A2L refrigerants.
