Compatible Air Handler Combinations (Max 54,000 BTU)
This condenser supports a wide mix of MRCOOL 5th Gen 6K, 9K, 12K, 18K, 24K, and 36K air handlers. Minimum of 2 air handlers must be connected. Total combined capacity must not exceed 54,000 BTU.
Example combinations:
- 12K + 12K + 12K + 12K + 6K = 54K
- 18K + 12K + 9K + 9K + 6K = 54K
- 24K + 18K + 12K = 54K
- 36K + 12K + 6K = 54K
Recommended Wire Size
- Recommended: 8 AWG copper wire – supports 30A MCA and 35A max fuse
- One Size Smaller (10 AWG): May run hot under load and is not code-compliant at this amperage—avoid use
- One Size Larger (6 AWG): Best for long runs—minimizes voltage drop and increases safety margin
Note: These units are pre-charged with R-454B and are not compatible with earlier R-410A systems. Always confirm your air handler configuration before purchase. Specifications subject to change.
