Trane A5HL5048A1000A Side Discharge Split System Heat Pump 4 Ton 48000 Btu R-454B 15.2 SEER2 Residential

Product Description

The Trane A5HL5048A1000A is a 4-ton, side-discharge, split-system heat pump outdoor condenser designed for residential heating and cooling applications. Operating on R-454B refrigerant and rated at 15.2 SEER2, this unit delivers 48,000 BTU/h of nominal capacity at 208/230 volts, single phase, 60 Hz. The aluminum and copper coil construction provides durable heat transfer performance. Low-voltage system control runs at 24 volts, compatible with standard thermostat wiring. Licensed HVAC technicians install and commission this unit as part of a split-system configuration paired with a matching air handler or coil and furnace.

This unit is suited for residential split-system heat pump installations in moderate climates where a 4-ton capacity is appropriate for the structure's load calculation. It is configured for side discharge airflow and is designed to work as the outdoor section of a ducted split system. The A5HL5048A1000A carries a multi-speed designation and is part of the RunTru by Trane product family. Minimum circuit ampacity is 31 amps, and maximum overcurrent protection is 50 amps. Outdoor unit dimensions are 52.40 inches high, 37.40 inches wide, and 13.39 inches deep per submittal data.
