Daikin FTA36AAVJUA 36000 Btu Mini Split Air Handler R-32

Product Description

The DAIKIN FTA36AAVJUA is a multi-position mini split air handler rated at 36,000 BTU/h, designed for single-zone ductless cooling and heating systems. It operates on R-32 refrigerant and runs on 208/230V single-phase power. The unit ships without a disconnect switch. Its multi-position design allows installation in horizontal or vertical orientations, giving installers flexibility in tight mechanical spaces. This air handler pairs with a compatible Daikin SkyAir outdoor condensing unit to form a complete split system. Licensed HVAC technicians handle installation and refrigerant work on this equipment.

The FTA36AAVJUA fits residential and light-commercial applications where a ductless or minimal-duct solution is needed at the 3-ton nominal capacity range. Multi-position mounting makes it suitable for closet, attic, crawlspace, and mechanical room installs. It is sold as a standalone indoor air handler and must be matched with an appropriate SkyAir outdoor unit. The unit does not include a field disconnect; a code-compliant disconnect must be supplied and installed separately per local electrical requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician certified to handle R-32 refrigerant, as R-32 is classified as mildly flammable (A2L) and requires adherence to current safety codes including ASHRAE 15 and applicable local mechanical codes. Power down and lock out all electrical circuits before making any wiring connections. Because this unit ships without a disconnect, a properly rated field-supplied disconnect must be installed within sight of the unit per NEC requirements. Refrigerant line sizing, flare connections, and system evacuation should follow Daikin published guidelines and applicable IFGC or IMC procedures for the installation jurisdiction.
