Payne ph16na048p0g Two-stage Heat Pump 16 Seer 4 Tons

Product Description

The PAYNE ph16na048p0g is a two-stage, residential split-system heat pump rated at 4 tons nominal cooling capacity and up to 16.5 SEER efficiency. It uses R-410A refrigerant and houses a scroll compressor paired with a two-speed condenser fan motor to deliver variable-output performance in both cooling and heating modes. Cooling capacity ranges from 44,000 to 47,000 BTU/h, while heating output reaches a minimum of 28,400 BTU/h. Licensed HVAC technicians install this unit as the outdoor condensing section of a split system, connecting it to a matched indoor air handler or coil.

This unit is suited for residential applications requiring a high-efficiency outdoor heat pump. The vertical configuration fits standard pad or rooftop installations. Refrigerant line connections are sweat-type, with a 3/8-inch liquid line and a 1-1/8-inch suction line. The system uses a TXV metering device on the cooling side and a piston metering device on the heating side. Minimum heating ambient temperature is 55 degrees F. It is a direct replacement for the PH16NA04800G, making it a practical swap in existing Payne split-system installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding an EPA 608 certification for handling R-410A refrigerant. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power before beginning any service or installation work. Follow local mechanical codes and manufacturer wiring diagrams for proper electrical connections, and verify that the circuit breaker and wiring are sized to meet the MCA and maximum overcurrent protection requirements. Do not exceed the maximum piping length specified for this system without consulting manufacturer guidelines.
