Description
This Rheem 5 ton gas and electric split system pairs the RA16AY60AJ2NA air conditioner, the RCFY6024STANMC cased evaporator coil and the R921V1155A24M4SCAP 92% AFUE gas furnace. It is an AHRI-certified match (AHRI reference 217168485), rated at 56,500 BTU/h of cooling and 16 SEER2. All three pieces use R-454B refrigerant.
How the pieces work together
The outdoor air conditioner uses a two-stage compressor that runs on low most of the day and steps up on the hottest afternoons. Inside, the 24.5" wide RCFY coil sits flush on the 24.5" furnace cabinet, so the installer gets a clean, square stack with no transition to fabricate.
The furnace delivers 115,000 BTU/h of input with single stage heat and a variable-speed ECM blower sized for up to 5 tons of airflow. As a condensing furnace it vents with PVC pipe and needs a condensate drain. The cabinet installs upflow, downflow or horizontal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included?
One RA16AY60AJ2NA outdoor air conditioner, one RCFY6024STANMC cased coil and one R921V1155A24M4SCAP gas furnace. The refrigerant line set, thermostat, venting, drain parts and pad are sold separately.
Is this system AHRI certified?
Yes. This exact combination is listed in the AHRI directory under reference number 217168485, which many utility rebates and permit offices ask for.
What size home is a 5 ton system good for?
It depends on your climate, insulation, windows and ductwork. A Manual J load calculation from your installer is the best way to confirm 5 tons of cooling and 115,000 BTU of heat are right for your home.
Can I add a heat pump later?
The furnace and coil can be reused, but the outdoor unit would need to be replaced with an AHRI-matched Rheem heat pump.
Does it need professional installation?
Yes. Gas, electrical and refrigerant work must be done by a licensed professional, and Rheem requires product registration for full warranty coverage.
