5 Ton EcoTemp R-454B Multi-Positional Cased Coil, W5AM61M24XA
The W5AM61M24XA sits at the top of the EcoTemp R-454B cased coil range — the 61-size coil in the full 24-1/2 in. by 35 in. cabinet, rated 1500 to 2500 CFM and delivering 82.7 MBH gross at 2000 CFM, the highest measured output of the eleven-model line. It is the coil specified when the AHRI-certified system match calls for the 61-size in a full-width casing. Factory-installed R-454B thermostatic expansion valve, twin sloped FRTP condensate pans, 7/8 in. suction connection, factory UV knockouts and the complete A2L leak dissipation system are all included.
Is a 5 Ton Cased Coil the Right Size?
At 60,000 BTUH nominal this coil handles the largest homes served by a single residential split system — commonly 2,600 to 3,500 sq. ft. — along with light commercial applications such as offices, salons, small restaurants and retail suites. The full 24-1/2 in. width presents the largest coil face in the series, which keeps air-side pressure drop manageable even when the system is designed near 2500 CFM.
Choosing between the 60-size and the 61-size in this cabinet is not a judgment call. Both are nominal 5 ton coils in identical 24-1/2 in. by 35 in. by 23.4 in. casings with the same 92 lb operating weight and the same 1500 to 2500 CFM rating; the 6124 measures marginally higher gross capacity at matched conditions. Which one belongs on a given system is determined by the AHRI-certified pairing with the outdoor unit, so look up the certified combination before ordering either.
Ideal for: 2,600 to 3,500 sq. ft. residences, large open-plan homes, light commercial offices, salons and retail suites, and any 5 ton system whose AHRI-certified match specifies the 61-size coil in a full-width cabinet.
Need a narrower cabinet? The 5 Ton EcoTemp W5AM61M21XA Cased Coil carries the same 61-size coil in a 21 in. casing for closets that will not take 24-1/2 in.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the W5AM61M24XA specified instead of the W5AM60M24XA?
When the AHRI-certified combination for your outdoor unit lists the 61-size coil. The two share an identical 24-1/2 in. by 35 in. cabinet and weight; the certified match, not the cabinet, decides which one is correct.
What is the rated cooling capacity of the 6124 coil?
82.7 MBH gross at 2000 CFM with 67°F entering wet bulb and 45°F saturated suction — the highest measured value among the eleven W5AM models stocked here. Full tables run from 35°F to 55°F saturated suction.
What are the shipping dimensions of the W5AM61M24XA?
35.8 in. high by 25.1 in. wide by 23.4 in. deep, at 103.0 lb. Verify the doorway, stair and attic access path before delivery, not just the final installation space.
Can this coil be used with any R-454B system?
The manufacturer notes these coils can be used in any properly designed system using R-454B refrigerant. For published AHRI performance and warranty purposes, however, use the certified combination for your specific outdoor unit.
What does each character in W5AM61M24XA mean?
W is evaporator coil, 5 is R-454B, A is vertical A-coil, M is multi-poise, 61 is the 5 ton capacity code, the second M means the dissipation system is included, 24 is the nominal 24 in. cabinet width, X is TXV metering, and the final A is the original major series.
How is the warranty extended to 10 years?
By registering the equipment within 90 days of original installation. Without registration the default is a 5-year parts limited warranty. Registration applies to the original purchaser and is not transferable to subsequent owners except where local law requires otherwise.
