Friedrich FRP15AY60AJ2NA Heat Pump 5 Ton 15 SEER2 Two Stage

Product Description

The FRIEDRICH FRP15AY60AJ2NA is a two-stage residential heat pump rated at 60,000 BTU/h cooling capacity, equivalent to a 5-ton system. Operating at 15 SEER2 efficiency and charged with R454B refrigerant, this unit is engineered for split-system installations where both heating and cooling are required from a single outdoor condensing unit. The two-stage compressor design allows the system to run at a lower stage during moderate load conditions, reducing short-cycling and improving dehumidification performance. HVAC technicians installing this unit will work with the R454B low-GWP refrigerant, which requires compatible service equipment and handling procedures.

This heat pump is suited for residential and light commercial applications requiring 5-ton capacity. It is designed for use in ducted split-system configurations paired with a compatible air handler or fan coil. Typical installations involve replacement of aging R-22 or R-410A systems where efficiency upgrades and refrigerant transitions to lower-GWP alternatives are required. The two-stage operation makes this unit a practical choice for climates with wide seasonal temperature swings, where part-load efficiency translates to measurable energy savings over a full operating season.

Key Features

• 60,000 BTU/h cooling capacity in a 5-ton configuration
• 15 SEER2 efficiency rating for compliance with current federal minimum standards
• Two-stage compressor operation reduces short-cycling and improves humidity control
• R454B refrigerant charge, a lower-GWP alternative to R-410A
• Designed for ducted split-system residential and light commercial installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM split-system heat pump condensing unit intended for pairing with a compatible 5-ton air handler or fan coil in a ducted residential or light commercial system.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician certified to handle R454B refrigerant under current EPA Section 608 regulations. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power before servicing refrigerant circuits or electrical connections. R454B requires dedicated recovery equipment rated for A2L refrigerants and is not interchangeable with R-410A service tools. Follow manufacturer startup procedures and local mechanical codes for line set sizing, clearances, and condensate management.
