My machine came with two long brackets installed and the spared were both short. I couldnt figure it out for the life of me. Thanks a lot. You saved the day. I got this annoying customer watching me so I had to slip away and watch this video so i didnt look like i had no idea what i was doing.😂 Thank you for the clear instructions.
when swapping the brackets, it is impossible to mess it up. the screw holes are staggered, so if you were to put the brackets in the wrong place, or have them facing the wrong direction, the bracket will be visibly at an angle, telling you that you did it wrong. so basically, there is only one possible way to put them back in. if you were to put the brackets in the wrong way, you will instantly understand what i am describing. great video by the way!
Thanks for this instructional video. I just swapped my Rheem air handler for a down draft and the instructions from Rheem that came with the system are far from desirable. Yours are much better.
Hey Dave.. The new Rheem/Ruud units comes with those "extra' brackets so you no longer have to remove the installed ones. You just have to bolt on the new ones when you flip the coil... Also, the screw holes will only line up "ONE WAY" on the brackets.. They're "SCREWUP PROOF" LOL....
Speaking as a NC licensed HVAC contractor for 36 years, who has installed many Rheem/Ruud units. Their air handlers in my opinion have always been sub par..... Always have disliked them. Too much labor to flip. The condensing units, I have always liked. And 1/4 screws are ridiculous. Surprisingly, Goodman air handlers are much better designed. Thanks for sharing your video.
I just did alot of remodeling, and the coils need a really good cleaning. Can I use this coil removal method (on a not new out of the box unit) to take coils outside in order to hose? Thanks in advance for your answer. Devon
How do you clean the coils on a unit like this? I have one just like this but its a 5 ton, so the coil is a lot taller, but the same N shape. Mine is only 4 years old and smells like toe-jam likely due to it having been installed without a condensate trap. Unfortunately the coil's design is very enclosed like the one in the video, and it looks like the aluminum pipes were soldered on after the side shields were put into place by the manufacturer, restricting access to the wet or possibly dusty underside of the coils and the drain pan where grime and mold would collect. I've been considering just spraying coil cleaner on the top side of the coils as a last resort, but that seems it would do a very shoddy job of reaching where it actually needs to go. Any tips on units like this?
Where does the filter go? Aren't the brackets you moved part of the filter holding system? Mr Jones, Love all of your videos. Thank you for producing them
Hey David, glad I found this video. I recently had this same unit installed. Then my ceiling caved in 2 months later. It had been leaking since installation and not draining out condensate line. After seeing the video I found that the support brackets were not rotated for h right position. Also I see in the video the top of the coil rests perfectly with ceiling of cabinet. On mine there is a huge V gap. Its sloping and leaning down\backwards. I'd love to get your input. Are the support brackets also screwed into the rails on coil to hold in proper position?
Hi: Nice video on how to setup a Rheem airhandler horizontally. I have one question: Which condensate drain hole will be the correct one to use when the airhandler is finally installed horizontal in the attic..??? I have the diagrams and the holes are labelled Auxillary drain connection horizontal application(Ibelieve that is the one to use), Primary drain connection, and Auxillary drain connection upflow and downflow application only. Thanks, John Willier, Hernando, FL.
Hey Dave can you please Answer me this question it would work on A weather king as well right? We just installed a horizontal right discharge but we only put the top rail. And it’s been leaking so I’m going to go tomorrow and try what you showed here thank you
i cannot decide on what to buy on new hvac system ? is rheem what i should get? i have people telling me to buy payne (carrier) and that reem coils have problems and rheem is junk
Is it normal for a company to warranty the air conditioner and furnace and NOT the evaporator because they used a different brand? Lennox did that to my less than 5 year system and if the evap goes, Im SOL!
Hello, where is the air filter on a Rheem Air handler? My model number is RCFL-HM3617CC and serial number is W201224314. I have looked in the attic at the unit where the unit is installed. Thanks.
i like your vids sir. just one question in this video when you're talking about the front of the unit what is the front of the unit that you are referring to?
I read rheem quality has gone down. I should still with carrier or what brand should i go with. I know 80% comes down to install quality of the installer.
No, reconfigured from factory installed left hand service with left hand drain to right hand service with right hand drain. It's still setup to flow as it did from factory, blower is pulling air through instead of pushing. This unit, turned 1/4 to the right, will sit just as it is in the video upon completion of conversion. Most likely for attic install. Flow up/down can describe a vertical application which you won't have if installed horizontal. Now you have to think positive/negative pressures. Pull/push air for left/right handed service. It has a different effect on drainage, can actually pull a vacuum through one of the drain ports

Thanks a bunch! I could've read the instructions ten more times and still not have gotten this information from it.

I didnt swap sides with the brackets and busted the drain pan. I was very confused for a few days.

Those Rheem Air Handlers look pretty solid, very nice video
Shadow Stephen it is I have one from2007, it is leaking so I am going to replace the coil
I’m getting this done in a few day’s, this was really helpful to know. I’ll be watching my tech but I won’t bother him, just want to watch.
I just did alot of remodeling, and the coils need a really good cleaning. Can I use this coil removal method (on a not new out of the box unit) to take coils outside in order to hose? Thanks in advance for your answer. Devon
Yes very helpful and to the point not a bunch of talking, great video.

great job... thank you for making it brief and to the point.
Thanks. Your video step by step, very clear to do the job...
great video explaining that this can be done and how I have been searching the web for hours to see if this is possible. thank you very much.
Where does the filter go? Aren't the brackets you moved part of the filter holding system? Mr Jones, Love all of your videos. Thank you for producing them

Russ, did you fix this (get rid of the V gap)? I have the same situation (recently discovered). My hvac peeps don't want to touch it.

Rheem IS JUNK!!!
Is it normal for a company to warranty the air conditioner and furnace

that to my less than 5 year system and if the evap goes, Im SOL!
Great Video You really explained it well.
Thank you so much I’ll try to make it simple
Please keep watching my videos
love all your work!!! thank you for sharing.
thank you
I did the same thing but it looks like the airflow is to strong and water is going out of the drain pan. How can I fix this???
Good instructions Thank you
Hello, where is the air filter on a Rheem Air handler? My model number is RCFL-HM3617CC and serial number is W201224314. I have looked in the attic at the unit where the unit is installed. Thanks.
Nice and easy. Wish i could wear shorts everyday to work. LOL
Crystal clear. I totally get it. Thank you.
But now the drain chanel is on the top? How is the condensation going to get out?
Thank you! You are good teacher!
Thanks David!
You would think they would use a rubber grommet on expansion valve caliper tubing.Instead of a plastic sleeve thanks for posting.
THANK YOU, and THANK YOU..
i like your vids sir. just one question in this video when you're talking about the front of the unit what is the front of the unit that you are referring to?
David Penprase the front is where the doors are as you look at the doors you are in the front
Thanks I have to do this tomorrow
Yes why do the leak and cause so many problems
Nice Job
Thank you DAVID
Great job you shared so good points on a Rheem air handler Thanks ! Does this not also change it from a up draft to a down draft?
Harold Tinsley does this change it from a up draft to a down draft?
I have a question if i take out the coil on my ac unit do i have to put freeon again?
yep. if you cut the lines
thank you dave you are the best

Do you need？
Great video sir, thank you. 🤝
will it stand straight up?
yes
what causing the condensation and drip outside of the catch tray.?
They never have a good answer so sick of this nonsense.
I read rheem quality has gone down. I should still with carrier or what brand should i go with. I know 80% comes down to install quality of the installer.
Good video 🙋👍👍
Where get nitrogen?
good lesson, thank you
You are welcome!
When I first started I changed one around and the fan unit ended up on the opposite end
thanks for you explain good are you the man
Thank you thank you thank you
Great video
Yo Yao’s that just cleaned my coil left one bracket out completely!
Good video.
thank you
Hey, i know this guy!!
ty great video
So just a up flow to downflow conversion
No, reconfigured from factory installed left hand service with left hand drain to right hand service with right hand drain. It's still setup to flow as it did from factory, blower is pulling air through instead of pushing. This unit, turned 1/4 to the right, will sit just as it is in the video upon completion of conversion. Most likely for attic install. Flow up/down can describe a vertical application which you won't have if installed horizontal. Now you have to think positive/negative pressures. Pull/push air for left/right handed service.
