Product Description

The RHEEM rh2ty3617stannj is a 3-ton, 2-stage residential air handler from the Endeavor Line, engineered for split-system HVAC applications using R454B refrigerant. It operates on 208/240 volts, single-phase, 60 Hz and uses an X13 constant-torque motor rated at 1/2 HP with five selectable speeds and a motor RPM range of 300 to 1100. The unit delivers between 1000 and 1200 CFM and is designed for installation by a licensed HVAC technician in residential or light-commercial ducted forced-air systems. The 4-way convertible cabinet allows for flexible installation orientation to suit a variety of job site conditions.

The rh2ty3617stannj fits ducted split-system installations where 2-stage cooling operation is required for improved humidity control and energy efficiency. The unit uses a thermostatic expansion valve (TEV) metering device and is compatible with R454B refrigerant systems. With a cabinet footprint of 17.5 inches wide by 21.6 inches deep by 42.5 inches tall, it is sized for closet, utility room, or mechanical space installations. The supply opening measures 16 inches wide by 10.26 inches deep, and the return opening measures 15.8 inches wide by 19.75 inches deep. Refrigerant connections are sweat-type: 3/8 inch liquid line and 3/4 inch vapor line.
