It operates on R454B refrigerant, a lower-GWP A2L alternative to R-410A, and carries a 15 SEER2 efficiency rating under the DOE M1 test methodology. Part of the RUUD M1 series, this outdoor unit houses the compressor, condenser coil, and fan assembly. It is designed to pair with a matched indoor evaporator coil and air handler to complete a split cooling system. Licensed HVAC technicians install and service this equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis condensing unit is suited for residential light-commercial split-system cooling applications. The M1 series designation aligns with current DOE regional efficiency standards. At 1.5 nominal tons, it is commonly applied in smaller residential spaces or single-zone applications where moderate cooling capacity is appropriate. A matched indoor coil and compatible air handler or furnace with blower are required to complete the system installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18,000 BTU\/h nominal cooling capacity at 1.5 tons\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eR454B refrigerant — lower global warming potential A2L refrigerant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15 SEER2 efficiency rating under DOE M1 test standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM1 series platform designed to meet current regional efficiency requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutdoor condensing unit configuration — houses compressor, condenser coil, and fan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM split-system outdoor condensing unit intended to pair with a compatible matched indoor evaporator coil and air handler within the RUUD M1 series product line.

Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the system before making any electrical or refrigerant connections. The unit should be mounted on a level pad with adequate clearance for airflow and service access per the installation manual. R454B requires tools and recovery equipment rated and listed for A2L refrigerant service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooling Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18,000 BTU\/h\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Tonnage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 tons\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefrigerant\u003c\/strong\u003e: R454B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEfficiency Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 SEER2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: M1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RUUD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: RA15AY18AJ1NALHP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RUUD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51283975962930,"sku":"RA15AY18AJ1NALHP","price":3307.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309278774.png?v=1781064764","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ruud-ra15ay18aj1nalhp-condensing-unit-1-5-ton-r454b-15-seer2","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
