5 Ton Rheem 15.2 SEER2 R454B Central System RA15AY60AJ1NA, RH2TY6024STANNJ
This is the largest system in the Rheem Endeavor® Line Classic® RA15AY lineup. It pairs the RA15AY60AJ1NA condenser with the RH2TY6024STANNJ two-stage-airflow air handler under AHRI certificate #215359092, listed at 15.2 SEER2. It delivers 60,000 BTU/h on low-GWP R-454B refrigerant, and the condenser comes with a factory-installed crankcase heater. The air handler's PlusOne® Refrigerant Detection System™ pauses the outdoor unit if a leak is detected. It's cooling only, with Rheem electric heat strips up to 20 kW offered.
Is a 5 Ton Air Conditioning System the Right Size?
A 5 ton system provides 60,000 BTU/h of nominal cooling, the largest size for most residential split systems. It's often used in homes around 2,500–3,000+ sq. ft. as a loose guide, and in some light commercial spaces.
Before choosing 5 tons, confirm the home really needs it. Many larger homes are better served by two smaller zoned systems. A Manual J load calculation and a duct review make sure a single 5 ton system is the right choice.
Ideal for: Large single-family homes, two-story homes on one system and light commercial spaces.
Want higher efficiency? Compare the 5 Ton Rheem 17 SEER2 R454B Two-Stage Central System RA16AY60AJ2NA, RH2TY6024STANNJ, which uses the same air handler.
Recommended home sizes are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on insulation, climate, windows, ductwork, occupancy and a proper load calculation. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the RA15AY60AJ1NA come with a crankcase heater?
Yes. Rheem lists a 44-103663-16 crankcase heater as factory installed on the RA15AY60. It protects the compressor from refrigerant migration during off cycles.
How tall is the RA15AY60AJ1NA condenser?
Rheem lists it at 45" tall on a 35.75" x 35.75" base. It's the tallest and widest cabinet in the RA15AY line, so check clearances under windows and eaves.
Is there a 5 ton Rheem heat pump version of this system?
Yes. The 5 ton Rheem RP15AY60AJ2NA heat pump system uses the same RH2TY6024STANNJ air handler and provides both heating and cooling.
How does this compare to the 5 ton Rheem Select system?
The 5 ton Rheem Select WA14AY60AJ1NA system is listed at 13.8 SEER2 with the same air handler. This Classic RA15AY60 system is listed at 15.2 SEER2 and adds PlusOne service features.
How much refrigerant is in the RA15AY60AJ1NA?
It ships with 192 oz. of R-454B, sized for a 15 ft. line set. Rheem's installation instructions cover the added charge for longer runs.
Can I upgrade to a two-stage 5 ton Rheem?
Yes. The 5 ton Rheem 17 SEER2 two-stage system RA16AY60AJ2NA keeps the RH2TY6024STANNJ air handler and adds a two-stage condenser for better part-load comfort.
