Friedrich FRA15AY60AJ1NALHP Condensing Unit 5 Ton 15 SEER2

Product Description

The FRIEDRICH FRA15AY60AJ1NALHP is a 5-ton residential or light-commercial split-system condensing unit rated at 60,000 BTU/h cooling capacity with a 15 SEER2 efficiency rating. It operates on R454B refrigerant, a lower-GWP alternative to legacy refrigerants, and uses a single-stage compressor for straightforward cooling operation. The unit is designed for outdoor installation as the condensing side of a matched split system. Licensed HVAC technicians handle installation, commissioning, and refrigerant work on this equipment.

This condensing unit is suited for residential and light-commercial cooling applications where a 5-ton, single-stage outdoor unit is required. It pairs with a compatible indoor air handler or coil to complete the split system. The 15 SEER2 efficiency rating meets current Department of Energy minimum efficiency standards for new installations. Typical applications include new construction and replacement of existing outdoor condensing units in split-system cooling or heat pump configurations where R454B is the specified refrigerant.

Key Features

• 60,000 BTU/h nominal cooling capacity at 5 tons
• 15 SEER2 efficiency rating meets current DOE minimum efficiency requirements
• R454B refrigerant — lower global warming potential compared to R410A
• Single-stage compressor operation for reliable, consistent cooling output

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style outdoor condensing unit intended for use in matched split-system cooling applications. Confirm indoor unit compatibility and system match requirements with FRIEDRICH engineering documentation before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA Section 608-certified HVAC technician licensed to handle refrigerants, including R454B. Shut off all electrical power to the system at the disconnect and main panel before beginning any wiring or mechanical connections. Follow local mechanical codes and manufacturer specifications for refrigerant line sizing, line set length, and unit clearances. R454B is classified as an A2L mildly flammable refrigerant — follow all applicable safety handling procedures required by local code and ASHRAE 15.
