Gree FXU48HP230V1R32AO 48,000 BTU FLEXX Ultra R32 Cold-Climate Inverter Heat Pump Outdoor Condensing Unit – 4-Ton, 230V, 1-Phase, Side-Discharge with -22°F Heating Operation
<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">A factory-engineered, field-installed electric resistance backup heat kit purpose-built for integration into Gree's FLEXX Ultra R32 inverter heat pump platform (FXU series ducted air handlers). This 6-kilowatt heater module installs directly into the air handler's dedicated electric heat cavity, delivering supplemental and emergency-mode heating output to maintain conditioned-space comfort when outdoor ambient temperatures drop below the inverter heat pump's balance point or when the system enters its defrost cycle. The assembly is constructed around durable nichrome resistance heating elements paired with a high-limit thermal cutout for over-temperature protection and a sequenced contactor arrangement that staggers element energization to limit inrush current and reduce demand stress on the home's electrical service. Engineered as a true OEM-matched accessory, the FLEXA2LHTR06KW is wired directly into the FXU air handler's onboard 24VAC control logic, allowing the inverter heat pump's primary control board to call for and stage auxiliary heat automatically without additional thermostat reconfiguration. As the lowest-output member of the FLEXA2L heater kit family, this 6 kW kit is the standard specification for smaller-tonnage FLEXX Ultra installations, milder-climate applications, and homes with limited service-panel capacity where a higher-output 9, 12, or 15 kW kit would exceed available electrical headroom. The unit ships ready for field installation by a qualified HVAC technician with the cover plate and integrated breaker hardware required for safe, code-compliant integration.</span></p>
| <p><span style="color | rgb(0, 0, 0);">Side-discharge variable-speed inverter heat pump outdoor condensing unit component of the Gree FLEXX Ultra R32 split system, rated at 48,000 BTU/h (4 ton) nominal capacity. Manufacturer SKU: FXU48HP230V1R32AO. Operates on 208/230V, 1-Phase, 60 Hz electrical service. Outdoor unit only — pairs with the matched FXU48HP230V1R32AH multi-position air handler to form a complete system. Factory-charged with R32 refrigerant for a standard line-set distance; additional refrigerant charge required for longer line runs per the installation manual. R32 refrigerant only — not compatible with R410A equipment. Equipped with Gree's G10 DC inverter compressor technology with continuous variable-speed capacity modulation down to approximately 50% of rated capacity for partial-load energy efficiency. Refrigerant metering via electronic linear expansion valve for precision superheat and subcooling control. Operating range: low-ambient cooling down to 5°F (-15°C) outdoor ambient; low-ambient heating down to -22°F (-30°C) outdoor ambient. Maximum refrigerant line length up to 164 feet for installation geometry flexibility. Compatible with 24VAC thermostat control through the matched indoor unit's onboard control board, including support for the optional WK-010WC1 7-day programmable 24V controller. Outdoor coil features durable gold-fin anti-corrosion coating rated for 1,500-hour salt spray exposure for extended life in humid and coastal environments. Sound pressure level: approximately 55 dB(A) at rated operating conditions. Side (horizontal) discharge cabinet design for close-to-building installation flexibility. Defrost cycle managed by reverse-cycle logic via the four-way reversing valve. Installation must be performed by a qualified HVAC technician with proper R32 refrigerant-handling certification.</span></p> |
