5 Ton Rheem 13.8 SEER2 R454B Central System RA14AY60AJ1NA, RH2TY6021STANAJ
This Rheem Endeavor® Line Classic® system pairs the RA14AY60AJ1NA condenser with the RH2TY6021STANAJ two-stage-airflow air handler, AHRI certified at 13.8 SEER2 (#216011746). The air handler fits a 5 ton A-coil into a 21" wide cabinet, 3.5" narrower than the standard 24.5" RH2TY6024. That helps in closets and platforms built for a smaller unit. It uses low-GWP R-454B with Rheem's PlusOne® Refrigerant Detection System™. 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 delivers 60,000 BTU/h of nominal cooling. It's used in larger homes, often 2,500–3,000+ sq. ft. as a general guide, and in some light commercial spaces. Climate and construction can move that range a lot.
Five tons is the top of the residential range, so confirm the load first. A Manual J load calculation may show two smaller zoned systems would work better. If one 5 ton system is right, make sure the ducts can handle about 1,750 CFM.
Ideal for: Large homes and light commercial spaces where the air handler closet or platform is limited to about 21".
Need the wider air handler? Compare the 5 Ton Rheem RA14AY60AJ1NA, RH2TY6024STANNJ system with the 24.5" 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
What's the difference between the RH2TY6021STANAJ and RH2TY6024STANNJ?
Both are 5 ton two-stage-airflow RH2TY air handlers. The RH2TY6021STANAJ uses an A-coil in a 21" wide, 57.5" tall cabinet. The RH2TY6024STANNJ is 24.5" wide and 55.5" tall.
Why choose a 21" air handler for a 5 ton system?
It fits closets, platforms and attic openings built for a 21" unit. Rheem's 5 ton airflow limits for the 21" cabinet are 1,575 CFM minimum, 1,750 CFM nominal and 1,925 CFM maximum, with up to 25 kW of electric heat.
How does this compare to the 5 ton RA14AY60 system with the 24.5" air handler?
The RA14AY60AJ1NA, RH2TY6024STANNJ system uses the same condenser with the wider 24.5" air handler. Choose based on the space your existing air handler occupies.
Is there a single-stage airflow air handler option for this condenser?
Yes. The 5 ton Rheem RA14AY60AJ1NA, RH1AY6021STANAJ system pairs the same condenser with a single-stage RH1AY air handler.
