Ruud RCHZ3617STANVU Uncased Evaporator Coil 3 Ton

Product Description

The RUUD RCHZ3617STANVU is a 3-ton uncased evaporator coil designed for use in central split-system air conditioning and heat pump installations. Built with an aluminum construction throughout, this coil handles a nominal cooling capacity of 36,000 BTU/h. The uncased design makes it compatible with a range of air handler cabinets and furnace housings, giving installing technicians flexibility to fit it into existing ductwork configurations. At 21.5 inches wide and rated for multi-position orientation, it suits both upflow and horizontal applications. Licensed HVAC technicians install this coil as part of a matched refrigerant system.

This coil is intended for residential and light commercial split-system cooling applications where an uncased coil is required to fit a specific cabinet or furnace platform. The multi-position design supports installation in upflow, downflow, or horizontal configurations depending on the air handler or furnace setup. Its 21.5-inch width fits standard nominal cabinet openings common in residential forced-air systems. It is also rated as a direct replacement coil, making it well suited for service work where the existing coil has failed and the cabinet is being reused.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding the appropriate EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling certification. Shut down and de-energize the entire system, including the air handler and outdoor condensing unit, before removing the existing coil or making any refrigerant connections. Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions for proper drain pan alignment, coil sealing, and refrigerant line connections to prevent air bypass and condensate leaks. All work must comply with applicable local mechanical codes and refrigerant handling regulations.
