A front view of a Ruud Endeavor® Line Achiever® Series iM Air Conditioner unit. It is a rectangular outdoor unit with a grey metal grille on the front and sides, a dark grey top with a fan visible, and a Ruud logo at the top center.

Features and Benefits

  • 7mm Condenser Copper Coil: Requires less refrigerant, allowing for a smaller and lighter footprint while enhancing reliability.
  • Swept Wing Fan Technology: Features quieter operation and improved unit acoustics.
  • PlusOne® Triple Service Access: 15 in. wide, industry-leading corner service access with two fastener, removable corner and individual louver panels, making repairs easier and faster.
  • Designing for Sustainability with Low GWP: For 2025, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a global warming potential (GWP) limit of 700 for refrigerant used in heating and cooling systems. This new requirement will result in a 78% lower GWP than previous-generation refrigerants, with only minimal changes to system installation. This represents a step toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions while delivering energy-efficient comfort.
  • PlusOne® Refrigerant Detection System™: An integrated one-box, patented design featuring the A2L sensor and mitigation board, offering easier commissioning with a single component and simplified wiring configuration. It is compatible with any 24V thermostat application and provides system protection by automatically pausing outdoor unit operation if excess refrigerant is detected.

  • Air inlet louvers require a minimum of 6" [152 mm] of clearance on all sides; 12" [305 mm] is recommended.
  • Service panels/inlet connections/high & low voltage access require 24" [610 mm] of clearance.

Clearances

Diagrams illustrate required clearances for unit installation. Numbers in parentheses indicate millimeters (mm).

Configuration 1 (Single Unit):

  • Service Clearance: 24" (609.6)
  • Side Clearance: 6" (152.4)
  • Front/Rear Clearance: 12" (304.8)

Configuration 2 (Multiple Units or Alcove):

  • Service Clearance: 24" (609.6)
  • Recommended Clearance: 24" (609.6)
