Ruud RF2TY2421STANSJB08 Air Handler 2 Ton R454B 8kw

Product Description

The RUUD RF2TY2421STANSJB08 is a wall-hung air handler designed for residential and light-commercial split systems using R454B refrigerant. Rated at 1.5 to 2 nominal tons with 24,000 BTU/h capacity, this unit operates on 208/230 volt single-phase power and includes an 8 kW electric heat strip. The front-return configuration and wall-hung orientation make it well suited for installations where floor or ceiling space is limited. Licensed HVAC technicians install this unit as the indoor section of a split-system heat pump or cooling-only system.

This air handler is intended for split-system applications requiring R454B refrigerant compatibility, a low-GWP alternative to R410A. The front-return design supports installations in utility closets, alcoves, or wall-recessed spaces where rear or bottom return access is not available. At 21 inches wide, the unit fits standard residential air handler openings. The 8 kW electric heat kit provides auxiliary or emergency heat capability without a separate field-installed heater kit.
