Ruud RHPBYB036AJT000NA Packaged Heat Pump 3 Ton 13.4 SEER2

Product Description

The RUUD RHPBYB036AJT000NA is a horizontal-orientation packaged heat pump rated at 3 tons (36,000 BTU/h) with a 13.4 SEER2 efficiency rating. It operates on R454B refrigerant, a lower-GWP alternative to R410A that meets current regulatory requirements. This unit integrates both heating and cooling functions into a single cabinet, making it a common choice for applications where indoor mechanical space is limited or unavailable. Installation and commissioning are performed by licensed HVAC technicians. The horizontal configuration allows the unit to be installed in attic spaces, crawlspaces, or on side-discharge rooftop curbs depending on the application.

The RHPBYB036AJT000NA is part of the RUUD M1 Series of packaged equipment. It is suited for residential and light commercial applications requiring a self-contained heating and cooling solution. The horizontal airflow orientation targets installations where ductwork enters and exits from the side of the unit rather than the bottom, typical of attic-mount or slab-side configurations. This unit is designed for use with R454B refrigerant systems and is not compatible with R410A service equipment.

Key Features

• 3-ton (36,000 BTU/h) nominal cooling capacity
• 13.4 SEER2 efficiency rating meets current DOE regional efficiency standards
• R454B refrigerant — lower global warming potential than R410A
• Horizontal orientation for attic, crawlspace, or side-discharge installations
• All-in-one packaged design eliminates the need for a separate indoor air handler or furnace

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM packaged heat pump replacement or new-installation unit within the RUUD M1 Series product line. Confirm refrigerant type, tonnage, voltage, and duct configuration against existing system specifications before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician familiar with R454B refrigerant handling, as this refrigerant requires A2L-rated tools and procedures. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the unit before any service work. Duct connections, refrigerant line sizing, and electrical supply must comply with local mechanical codes and the NEC. Do not use R410A service equipment or recovery cylinders with this unit.
