General Electric ns17a60ta5 Two-stage Ac 17 SEER2 5 Ton

Product Description

The GENERAL ELECTRIC ns17a60ta5 is a 5-ton, two-stage central air conditioner rated at 17 SEER2, designed for residential cooling applications where efficiency and reliable capacity are priorities. It operates on R454B refrigerant, a lower global-warming-potential alternative to R-410A that is increasingly standard in new-equipment installations. The unit ships at 157 pounds and features 45-degree service valves with longer connections, making routine service access straightforward for technicians using standard, readily available tools. Licensed HVAC contractors handle installation and commissioning of this equipment.

This condensing unit is suited for residential split-system installations requiring 5 tons of cooling capacity. The two-stage compressor allows the system to run at a reduced stage during moderate load conditions, which can improve humidity control and reduce short-cycling compared to single-stage equipment. The gray cabinet finish and compact footprint are typical of residential pad-mount installations. Servicing is simplified by the 45-degree service valve orientation and standard screw fasteners throughout the cabinet.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM split-system condensing unit intended for pairing with a compatible air handler or furnace coil rated for R454B refrigerant and 5-ton capacity. Consult the equipment submittal documentation to confirm matched-system requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC contractor holding the appropriate EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling certification. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the system before connecting refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, or accessing the service valves. Follow local mechanical codes and the manufacturer written installation instructions for pad placement, line-set sizing, and refrigerant charge verification. Do not install or commission the unit without confirming the indoor coil and air handler are rated for use with R454B refrigerant.
