2 Ton EcoTemp R-454B Multi-Positional Cased Coil, W5AM24M14XA
The W5AM24M14XA is the narrowest coil in the EcoTemp W5AM line — a 2 ton vertical A-coil housed in a 14-3/16 in. wide, 25-13/16 in. tall cabinet that slips into utility closets and attic platforms where an 17-1/2 in. box simply will not go. It carries a factory-installed R-454B thermostatic expansion valve, a complete A2L leak dissipation system, and two sloped FRTP condensate pans so a single coil covers upflow, downflow, horizontal-left and horizontal-right work. At 50.1 lb operating weight it is the lightest coil in the series, which matters when the install is a ladder-and-attic-hatch job rather than a garage mechanical room.
Is a 2 Ton Cased Coil the Right Size?
A 2 ton W5AM coil is matched to roughly 24,000 BTUH of nominal cooling and moves 600 to 1000 CFM, which puts it under 2 ton condensers and heat pumps in smaller homes, additions, converted garages, guest suites, and zoned areas of a larger house. Gross capacity is 32.9 MBH at 800 CFM with 67°F entering wet bulb and a 45°F saturated suction temperature, so there is real headroom above the nameplate when the blower and the outdoor unit are matched properly.
Coil selection is driven by the AHRI match, not by the square footage of the house. The condenser or heat pump model, the blower's available static pressure, duct design, and the target indoor humidity all move the answer. A coil that is oversized for its condenser will short cycle and leave the space clammy; one that is undersized will run high suction pressure and lose sensible capacity on design days. Confirm the pairing on the AHRI directory before ordering, and remember that the 14-3/16 in. cabinet is a hard constraint — check the closet opening and the plenum transition first.
Ideal for: Condos, townhomes, 900 to 1300 sq. ft. single-family homes, garage and attic conversions, in-law suites, and any 2 ton replacement where the existing chase or closet will not accept a wider coil cabinet.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 2.5 Ton EcoTemp W5AM30M14XA Cased Coil, which keeps the same 14-3/16 in. cabinet width while adding a half ton of capacity.
Recommended applications are general guidelines only. Actual coil selection depends on the AHRI-certified system match, blower capability, duct static, and local design conditions. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

The W5AM24M14XA is built for the 2 ton EcoTemp W5A5S24AKAWA condenser and the W5H5S24AKAAA heat pump, and it will sit on any properly sized R-454B furnace or blower. Refrigerant sensor and sensor wire harness arrive factory installed; the leak dissipation control board, board housing and power wire harness ship in the parts box and must be installed for the system to operate. Plan on a field-supplied copper line set and a liquid line filter drier, with evacuation and charging by an EPA 608 certified technician.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cabinet opening does the W5AM24M14XA need?
The casing measures 14-3/16 in. wide, 25-13/16 in. tall and 23.4 in. deep. Confirm the closet or platform opening and the plenum transition before ordering, since this is the tightest cabinet EcoTemp offers in the W5AM line.
How much does this coil weigh, and can one technician set it?
Operating weight is 50.1 lb and shipping weight is 54.5 lb, making it the lightest coil in the W5AM series. Most technicians handle it solo, including attic hatch and crawlspace installs.
Can the W5AM24M14XA be used with R-410A or R-32 equipment?
No. This coil is built for R-454B refrigerant only. The TXV is refrigerant specific and the coil ships with an A2L leak dissipation system, so it cannot be substituted into an R-410A or R-32 system.
What line sizes does the 2414 coil use?
5/8 in. suction and 3/8 in. liquid, both sweat connections. The factory leaves enough straight tube to accept braze-less compression fittings if you prefer not to braze at the coil.
Does the coil include the A2L dissipation parts, or are they ordered separately?
They are included. The refrigerant sensor and sensor wire harness are factory installed, and the leak dissipation control board, board housing and power wire harness ship in the parts box. All of it is required for installation.
Which EcoTemp outdoor unit pairs with a 2 ton W5AM coil?
The W5A5S24AKAWA 14.3 SEER2 condenser for cooling-only work, or the W5H5S24AKAAA heat pump. Always verify the specific pairing on the AHRI directory.
