The Rheem®RPPB- Classic Series®Heat Pump Outdoor
units can provide year-round heating and cooling comfort
for residential, multi-family and light commercial applications. They are designed to operate with Rheem indoor
units with cooling and heating capacities certified under
the ARI Certification program.
The Rheem RBHK- Air Handler equipped with auxiliary
heating elements for supplementary heat was designed
especially for use with the RPPB- Heat Pump. Together
they provide systems capable of delivering a maximum
HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) of 8.90 in the
heating mode or a maximum standard S.E.E.R. (Seasonal
Energy Efficiency Ratio) of 14.40 in the cooling mode.
The following additional features, plus its energy-saving
characteristics, make the RPPB- Heat Pump outdoor unit
an excellent choice for new construction or upgrading your
present system.
■ Attractive, louvered wrap around jacket protects coil from
weather extremes and yard hazards. Top grille is steel
reinforced for extra strength. Cabinet is powder painted
for all weather protection.
■ Four sided outdoor coil design allows compressor opera-
tion with access panel removed.
■ Air is discharged upward away from bushes and shrubs.
The discharge pattern of the top grille provides minimum
air restriction, resulting in quiet fan operation.
■ Exclusive Combination Grille/Motor Mount secures the
fan motor to the underside of the discharge grille. The
grille protects the motor windings and bearings from rain
and snow.
■ All controls are accessible by removing one service
panel. Removable top grille provides access to the outdoor fan motor and outdoor coil.
■ Compressor compartment offers additional protection
from the elements and reduces operating noise.
■ Single speed, 8-pole fan motor is designed for low
speed, quieter, energy-saving operation.
■ Non-cycling reversing valve.
■ All models meet or exceed a 1000-hour salt spray test
per ASTM B117 Standard Practice for Operating Salt
Spray Testing Apparatus.

Accessories
■
Low Ambient Control—Allows low temperature operation in the
cooling cycle down to 0°F [-17.8°C] outdoor temperature. It is
recommended that this control be installed in units to be operated
for cooling at outdoor ambient temperatures under 65°F [18°C].
(Model No. RXPZ-C01)
■
Outdoor Thermostats—
RXPT-A01—One outdoor thermostat in box.
RXPT-A02—One outdoor thermostat for mounting in box for use
with RXPT-A01 or A03.
RXPT-A03—One outdoor thermostat with emergency Heat Relay
wired and mounted in box.
RXPT-A04—Tne outdoor thermostats with emergency Heat Relay
wired and mounted in box.
■
Heat Pump Monitor—Indicates inefficient operation or malfunction of
heat pump. (Model No. RXPM-B01)
■
Thermostats and Subbases—Available through the PROSTOCK
®
Department.
■
Compressor Time Delay Control—Compressor will remain off for
five minutes after power or thermostat interruption, allowing system
pressures to equalize. Starting during high pressure conditions can
result in shortened compressor life. (Model No. RXMD-B01)
■
Blower Time Delay Control—RXMD-C02.

Engineering Features
RPPB- Series Heat Pump Outdoor Unit
1. Scroll compressor is hermetically sealed and incorporates internal
high temperature motor overload protection, and durable insulation
on the motor windings. It is externally mounted on rubber grommets
to reduce vibration and noise.
2. Copper Tube/Aluminum Fin Coils—Both indoor and outdoor coils.
3. Strong, Attractive Cabinet—Constructed of powder painted steel.
Louvered design protects the coil from damage.
4. Internal Check Valve—Provides for more quiet refrigerant metering.
5. Manual Reset High Pressure Control—Deactivates system if
abnormally high pressure occurs.
6. Drawn, Painted Base Pan—For extra corrosion resistance and
sound reduction.
7. Hard Start Components—Offer additional starting torque to cover a
wide range of voltage and pressure variations.
8. Non-Cycling Reversing Valve—Eliminates discharge noises on
each heating cycle.
9. Hot Gas Muffler—Reduces noise in heating cycle.
10. Suction Line Accumulator—Provides protection for the
compressor.
11. Bi-Directional Filter Drier—Provided on all models.
12. Se rvice valves are standard on all models.
13. Refrigerant Metering—TX valves accurately meter refrigerant into
indoor and outdoor coils.
14. Demand Defrost—Provides complete defrost when defrost is
required.
Convenience Features
■
The scroll compressor models, additionally have a
10 year compressor warranty as standard.
■
All refrigerant connections are on the exterior of the unit, located
close to the ground for neat appearing installations.
■
Coil design permits compressor operation with the access panel
removed.
■
Control box is fully accessible in the upper part of the cabinet, just
under the access panel.
■
Power and control wiring are kept separate.
■
Every unit is factory charged and tested.

COPELAND®SCROLL
®
COMPRESSOR
The Copeland scroll compressor is the key to efficiency for this
Rheem model. It’s the latest in high-efficiency compressor technology.
The advanced scroll compressor offers low noise and vibration
characteristics and features tolerance to liquid refrigerant and system
contamination. The Copeland Scroll also has low start torque,
eliminating start problems in the field. And its unique design enables
the RPPB- heat pump to perform efficiently, quietly and reliably.
For all season home comfort, performance and energy conservation, choose a Rheem RPPB- Series Heat Pump and RBHK- Series
Air Handler.
More than a reverse cycle air conditioner, it’s a specially designed combination Winter/Summer comfort system using a single indoor coil
for heating and cooling.
To choose an RBHK- Air Handler designed for use with the RPPB- Heat Pump, refer to the Performance Data Tables and/or the air
handler specification sheet.
