Friedrich FRA13NY42AJ1NALHP Condensing Unit 3.5 Ton 13 SEER2

Product Description

The FRIEDRICH FRA13NY42AJ1NALHP is a 3.5-ton residential split-system condensing unit rated at 42,000 BTU/h cooling capacity with a 13 SEER2 efficiency rating. It operates on R454B refrigerant, a low-global-warming-potential A2L refrigerant that meets current and upcoming regulatory requirements. The unit runs a single-stage compressor, delivering consistent cooling output without variable-speed complexity. Licensed HVAC technicians install this outdoor condensing unit as part of a split cooling or heat pump system paired with a matched indoor air handler or coil.

This condensing unit is suited for residential and light-commercial applications requiring 3.5 tons of cooling capacity. Single-stage operation makes it appropriate for straightforward replacement projects or new installations where a fixed-capacity outdoor unit is specified. The 13 SEER2 rating aligns with current minimum efficiency standards applicable in applicable U.S. climate regions. An HVAC contractor pairs this unit with a compatible indoor coil or air handler to complete the system.

Key Features

• 42,000 BTU/h cooling capacity at 3.5 nominal tons
• 13 SEER2 efficiency rating meets current federal minimum standards
• R454B refrigerant — low-GWP A2L refrigerant compliant with evolving EPA regulations
• Single-stage compressor operation for reliable, straightforward cooling performance
• Outdoor condensing unit designed for split-system installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style outdoor condensing unit for residential and light-commercial split cooling systems requiring a 3.5-ton single-stage R454B-compatible outdoor section.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA 608-certified HVAC technician due to the A2L classification of R454B refrigerant, which requires adherence to specific handling and ventilation procedures. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the system before making any electrical or refrigerant connections. Follow local mechanical codes and manufacturer instructions for pad placement, line set sizing, and refrigerant line clearances. Do not mix R454B with other refrigerants or use equipment not rated for A2L service.
