Oxbox J5AC5036A1000 Air Conditioner Condenser 36000 Btu 14.3 SEER2 3 Ton R-454B Residential Split System

Product Description

The Oxbox J5AC5036A1000 is a 3-ton (36,000 BTU/h) central air conditioner condenser designed for residential and light-commercial split-system cooling applications. Rated at 14.3 SEER2, it meets current federal minimum efficiency standards while using R-454B refrigerant, a lower global-warming-potential refrigerant now required under updated EPA regulations. The unit features an all-aluminum microchannel condenser coil that improves heat transfer efficiency and provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to traditional copper-and-aluminum coil designs. Licensed HVAC technicians install and commission this condenser as the outdoor component of a split-system configuration paired with a matched indoor coil and air handler or furnace.

The J5AC5036A1000 is suited for residential split-system installations and light-commercial applications requiring 3-ton cooling capacity. It is part of the Oxbox J5AC5 series, which is manufactured under the Trane brand umbrella and shares design lineage with that product family. The unit is intended to be paired with a compatible indoor coil to achieve the rated 14.3 SEER2 efficiency. Typical installations include single-family homes and small commercial spaces where a gas-electric or electric-only split system is specified. The condenser cabinet is constructed of painted, galvanized steel suitable for outdoor installation.

Key Features

• 3-ton (36,000 BTU/h) cooling capacity for residential and light-commercial loads
• 14.3 SEER2 efficiency rating meets current federal minimum efficiency requirements
• R-454B refrigerant with lower global-warming potential for regulatory compliance
• All-aluminum microchannel condenser coil for improved heat transfer and corrosion resistance
• Painted galvanized steel cabinet rated for outdoor exposure
• Part of the Oxbox J5AC5 series, engineered under the Trane brand umbrella

Compatibility

The J5AC5036A1000 is designed for use in residential and light-commercial split-system configurations and must be paired with a compatible R-454B-rated indoor coil and air handler or furnace to achieve rated efficiency. Specific matched-system combinations include pairings documented in Oxbox system builder and AHRI certification listings. Do not pair with legacy R-22 or R-410A indoor coils.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA Section 608-certified HVAC technician, as R-454B is a regulated refrigerant requiring certified handling equipment. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the system before any service work. The condenser should be mounted on a level pad with adequate clearance on all sides per the manufacturer installation instructions and local mechanical code requirements. Follow all applicable local codes and ASHRAE guidelines for line set sizing, refrigerant charge, and electrical connection.
