Universal heat pump

16,000 to 26,000 BTU/h · protected by MANIKSTAT

A universal heat pump / air conditioner designed to adapt to most existing installations. Performance, reliability and flexibility for replacement projects: expansion moves indoors with the 3/8 piston kit, which keeps the existing coil and piping in place. Paired with the MANIKSTAT kit, the unit replaces any broken or faulty inverter heat pump — an estimated installed base of 150,000 units in Quebec alone.

Key points

• Compatible with existing installations when the metering device can be replaced
• Retains the original coil thanks to the calibrated piston kit
• Fits three existing piping sizes (1/4-1/2, 3/8-5/8, 3/8-3/4) — this is what makes the unit universal
• 24 V wiring: 3 wires in heat pump mode, 2 wires in cooling; RS-485 adapter available for the third wire
• 20 A breaker and 12 gauge wire only
• Expansion moved indoors with the 3/8 piston kit, instead of the unit's original outdoor metering
• No insulation required on the liquid line
• A2L adapter supplied with the equipment
• Built-in MANIKSTAT protection against excessive discharge pressure and indoor coil freeze-up
