BADGER WCHL605BD – 5 Ton Multi‑Position Air Handler R‑454B

The BADGER WCHL605BD is a premium indoor air handler engineered for demanding residential and light‑commercial HVAC systems. With a 5‑ton capacity, this unit is built to handle high‑load environments while offering the versatility and efficiency required in modern installations. Designed for multi‐position installation (up‑flow, down‑flow, horizontal left/right), it adapts to tight spaces, attics, closets or new construction with ease.

This model is compatible with the low‐GWP refrigerant R‑454B, making it a future‑ready choice for systems designed with environmental standards in mind. The internal design features a high‐efficient ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) blower that enhances airflow control and quiet operation. The cabinet is constructed of pre‑painted galvanized steel, insulated with R‑4.2 value material and built with vapor barrier to minimize condensation and optimize indoor air quality.

Key features include a factory‑installed TXV (thermostatic expansion valve) optimized for R‑454B, a refrigerant‐leak dissipation system for added safety, large grooved‑tube louvered‑fin coil, sturdy condensate pans engineered for severe conditions, and easy access service panels. Whether you’re replacing an older system or specifying new equipment for an upgrade, the WCHL605BD delivers flexibility, durability and modern refrigerant compatibility.
