Rheem (RA14) Specifications Sheet download pdf (Page 4)

The RA14 is our 14 SEER air conditioner and is part of the

Rheem air conditioner product line that extends from 13 to 20

SEER. This highly featured and reliable air conditioner 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 corro-

sion and has integrated brass compressor attachment inserts

()

. Furthermore it has incorporated into the design, water

management features, means for hand placement

()

for unit

maneuvering, screw trays

()

and inserts for lifting off unit

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 condenser above evapora-

tor, or up to 80 feet evaporator above condenser, 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 or capacitor

( ) needs to be replaced there is more than adequate space to

make the repair. Furthermore, if high pressure and low pressure

model was not purchased but is desired to be installed in the

field, the service window ( ) can be removed by removing two

screws, to access the high and low side schrader fittings for easy

field installation. The entire corner can be removed providing

ultimate access to install the high and low pressure switch.

()

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 the 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 coil 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 RA14 units utilize single row

coils ( ) making cleaning easy and complete, restoring the

performance of the air conditioner 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.
