Features & Benefits
RP14 Series
4
The RP14 is our 14 SEER heat pump and is part of the Rheem
heat pump product line that extends from 14 to 20 SEER. This
highly featured and reliable heat pump is designed for years of
reliable, efficient operation when matched with Rheem indoor
aluminum evaporator coils and furnaces or air handler units with
aluminum evaporators.
Our unique composite base ( ) reduces sound emission, elimi-
nates rattles, significantly reduces fasteners, eliminates corrosion
and has integrated brass compressor attachment inserts
()
.
Furthermore it has incorporated into the design, water manage-
ment features, means for hand placement
()
for unit maneu-
vering, screw trays ( ) and inserts for lifting unit off pad. ( )
Service Valves ( ) are rigidly mounted in the composite base
with 3" between suction and discharge valves, 4" clearance
below service valves and a minimum of 5" above the service
valves, creating industry leading installation ease. The minimum
27-square inches around the service valves allows ample room
to remove service valve schrader prior to brazing, plenty of
clearance for easy brazing of the suction and discharge lines to
service valve outlets, easy access and hookup of low loss refrig-
erant gauges ( ), and access to the service valve caps for
opening. For applications with long-line lengths up to 250 feet
total equivalent length, up to 200 feet heat pump above evapo-
rator, or up to 80 feet evaporator above heat pump, the long-line
instructions in the installation manual should be followed.
Controls are accessed from the corner of the unit by removing
only two fasteners from the control access cover, revealing the
industry’s largest 15" wide and 14" tall control area
()
. With all
this room in the control area the high voltage electrical whip ( )
can easily be inserted through the right size opening in the bot-
tom of the control area. Routing it leads directly to contractor
lugs for connection. The low voltage control wires
()
are easily
connected to units low voltage wiring. If contactor defrost con-
trol or capacitor ( ) needs to be replaced there is more than
adequate space to make the repair. Furthermore, the service
window ( ) can be removed to access the TXV and reversing
valve by removing two screws or the entire corner can be removed
providing ultimate access to the TXV or reversing valve.
()
If in the rare event, greater access is needed to internal compo-
nents, such as the compressor, the entire corner of the unit can
be removed along with the top cover assembly to have unprece-
dented access to interior of the unit
()
. Extra wire length is
incorporated into each outdoor fan and compressor so top cover
and control panel can be positioned next to unit. With minimal
effort the plug can be removed from the compressor and the
outdoor fan wires can be removed from the capacitor to allow
even more uncluttered access to the interior of the unit
()
.
Outdoor coils heights range from as short as 22" to 32", aiding
access to the compressor. Disassembly to this degree and com-
plete reassembly only takes a first time service technician less
than 10 minutes.
()
All units utilize strong formed louver panels which provide indus-
try leading coil protection. Louver removal for coil cleaning is
accomplished by removing one screw and lifting the panel out
of the composite base pan
().
All RP14 units utilize single row
coils ( ) making cleaning easy and complete, restoring the
performance of the heat pump back to out of the box perfor-
mance levels year after year.
The outdoor fan motor has sleeve bearings and is inherently
protected. The motor is totally enclosed for maximum protection
from weather, dust and corrosion. Access to the outdoor fan is
made by removing four fasteners from the fan grille. The outdoor
fan can be removed from the fan grille by removing 4 fasteners
in the rare case outdoor fan motor fails.
Each cabinet has optimized composite ( ) fan orifice assuring
efficient and quiet airflow.
