4 Ton Air Handling Unit, 48,000 BTU, 208 to 230 V, 1 PH

Armstrong Air 16G82 – BCE5C48MA1P 4.0 Ton Air Handler with PSC Motor

The Armstrong Air 16G82 (Model BCE5C48MA1P) is a 4-ton air handler designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It features a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor for single-speed operation and consistent airflow delivery. This unit is suitable for applications requiring reliable performance in upflow, downflow, or horizontal configurations.

Engineered with rifled copper tubing and lanced aluminum fins, the coil design supports enhanced refrigerant flow and improved heat transfer efficiency. The drain pan incorporates antimicrobial properties to inhibit microbial growth and is constructed for rapid condensate drainage, minimizing standing water retention. This model also includes Armstrong Air’s proprietary MHT™ coil technology, optimizing airflow distribution across the coil surface.
