FlexCoil is exactly what the name implies, one coil, any A2L refrigerant, offering the flexibility you need during the A2L transition and beyond. FlexCoil is designed to help HVAC distributors and installers succeed through the A2L refrigerant transition.
Under the new EPA rules, the installation of systems beginning January 1, 2025, must use a refrigerant with a low global warming potential (GWP). However, until January 1, 2026, new systems can still use R-410A, but specified components such as condensing units and evaporator coils used in those installations, must be manufactured before January 1, 2025.
As you can expect, all manufacturers have been concentrating their efforts on developing new products and getting them in the field as quickly as possible for this transition.
However, they won’t all be released at the same time. This will cause a need in the market for evaporator coils for both the old and new refrigerants through the entire transition period, causing challenges in managing inventory for distributors.
In 2024, ADP’s FlexCoil provided the solution: a full line of evaporator coils certified for both refrigerant types. That means the FlexCoil product manufactured before January 31st, 2025, is compatible with A1 and A2L refrigerants. The video below shows how to field configure a FlexCoil.
