Goodman 2 Ton 17.5" Cased Upflow/Downflow Evaporator Coil EEV R-32 - CAPEA2418B3

Right-sized indoor cooling starts with the right coil. The Goodman CAPEA2418B3 delivers 2 tons of cooling capacity in a compact 17.5" cabinet, making it an easy match for smaller homes and tight mechanical closets where cabinet width is the limiting factor. Backed by a factory-installed EEV and Goodman's proven all-aluminum coil construction, this is the coil to reach for when you need dependable performance without oversizing the system.

Key features that matter in the field

• Factory-installed Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) — precise refrigerant metering in both cooling and heat pump mode
• All-aluminum coil construction — sine fins and grooved tubing for efficient, long-lasting heat transfer
• R-32 optimized circuits, manifolds, and sensor — built for the life of the coil
• Daikin One+ compatible — works with communicating thermostats for smarter diagnostics
• Galvanized, leather-grain-embossed cabinet with foil-faced insulation — resists corrosion and condensation
• Rust-resistant, DecaBDE-free thermoplastic drain pan with secondary drain connection
• Single front access panel and 21" cabinet depth — easier service, easier attic installs
• Fault recall of the six most recent faults for faster troubleshooting

Regional readiness and important compatibility notes

• R-32 only — this coil is not compatible with R-410A systems or refrigerant
• Requires a matched R-32 outdoor condenser or heat pump and a Goodman Furnace Integration Kit (Model 0230K00044)
• Best suited to homes in the ~900–1,200 sq ft range, depending on climate and insulation
