Goodman 2.5 Ton R32 Vertical Evaporator Coil CAPTA3026C3 For Efficient HVAC

Meet the Goodman CAPTA3026C3 2.5 Ton R32 Vertical Evaporator Coil—an intelligently engineered component built to elevate HVAC performance, reduce operating costs, and simplify service. Purpose-built for R-32 systems, this coil combines precise refrigerant circuits with rugged construction to deliver dependable cooling and efficient heat pump operation year after year.

Why this coil stands out

• Optimized for R-32 refrigerant: Tailored circuits and manifolds maximize heat transfer efficiency and reduce energy consumption, helping you achieve lower utility bills without sacrificing comfort.
• Factory-installed Thermal Expansion Valves (TXV): Simplifies installation for both cooling and heat pump configurations, ensuring accurate refrigerant metering from day one.
• Standardized copper suction tube stub length: Broad compatibility across a wide range of HVAC systems, making retrofits and new installs smoother.
• Check Flowrator: A design feature that improves refrigerant flow and system efficiency for both cooling and heat pump modes.
• Vertical application with 21" depth: Ideal for tight spaces and attic installations where horizontal coils aren’t feasible, while still delivering strong performance.
• Single front access panel: Simplifies servicing and routine maintenance, reducing downtime and service time.
• Foil-faced insulation: Minimizes condensation inside the cabinet, helping maintain steady coil temperatures and protect surrounding components.
• Durable finish: Galvanized, leather-grain embossed exterior provides long-lasting durability and a professional look that withstands harsh environments.
• Drain pan features for longevity: Rust-resistant and UV-resistant thermoplastic pan with low water retention, plus DecaBDE-free construction and additional drain connections for easier maintenance and enhanced drainage.
• AHRI Certified & ETL Listed: Meets stringent safety and efficiency standards for reliable performance across residential and commercial applications.

Real-world benefits and use cases

This 2.5-ton vertical coil is ideal for retrofit projects and new installations where space is at a premium, such as attics or utility rooms with limited clearance. The vertical configuration, combined with a 21" depth, makes it easier to maneuver through tight access points while delivering consistent cooling capacity and efficient heat exchange. Whether you’re upgrading an aging system, installing a new R-32 split, or pairing with a heat pump, CAPTA3026C3 provides a reliable, maintainable backbone for steady climate control.

Who benefits most

• Homeowners replacing older evaporator coils to improve energy efficiency and comfort in both cooling and heat pump applications.
• HVAC professionals seeking a ready-to-go coil with factory-installed TXV and broad compatibility features for quick, confident installations.
• Systems located in attics or restricted spaces where a slim 21" depth and front-access servicing are valuable.
