GOLD: American Standard Platinum XV Air Handler

The Platinum XV Air Handler delivers on consumer demand for reliability, comfort, safety and efficiency. Air from an American Standard Platinum XV Air Handler is circulated through an exclusive double-walled cabinet design that keeps unwanted insulation particles out of the conditioned air in the home while also eliminating thermal losses that result in condensation. It is constructed more like a refrigerator than a typical air handler, with insulation between double-walls of the innovative Air-Tite™ II cabinet. This insulation prevents condensation that may cause damage to the air handler itself or a consumer’s home. In addition to eliminating sweating, the cabinet also eliminates the loose fibers from fiberglass insulation that may otherwise enter the airstream. The Platinum XV also provides improvements in ease of installation with its modular design and smaller size. Application is flexible with four-way configuration with no conversion, and the entire product disassembles into just four pieces in as little as two minutes.
