Compatibility & Installation Notes
The GLXS5BA3010 / GD9T800804BX / CAPTA3626B3 system is designed for residential downflow applications. The evaporator coil has a larger nominal capacity than the outdoor condenser and may be paired with the 2.5-ton air conditioner to support the rated system efficiency.
Compatibility with the property’s ductwork, electrical service, natural gas supply, refrigerant lines, condensate drainage, thermostat, furnace venting, and required downflow accessories must be confirmed before installation. A compatible two-stage thermostat is recommended to access the furnace’s full staging capabilities.
