durability in harsh environments. The

components. The product is available in
seven standard nominal sizes ranging

FEATURES/BENEFITS
ArmorPlate Condenser Coil —The
outdoor coil lasts three times longer
than other standard condenser coils by
utilizing a special ArmorPlate
protective coating on the coil.
Heavy Duty Inlet Grille —The coil is
protected with an enhanced coil guard.
With maximum horizontal opening of
10.5 mm and construction of coated
wire, the guard helps to protect from
inclement weather (hail), vandalism,
and incidental damage.
Cabinet Protection —Provides
superior durability through added paint
coverage on all sheet metal
components. Steel is protected with a
galvanized coating and treated with a
layer of zinc phosphate. A modified
polyester powder coating is then
applied and baked on, providing each
unit with a hard, smooth finish that will
last for many years. Additional
attention to detail, such as the motor
cap, protects the fan motor from
exposure to the elements. Coil
isolators protect the unit from internal
scratches during installation and
shipping. All screws on cabinet
exterior are coated for a long-lasting
rust-resistance.
