The HVAC Mirage OMZH181C is a high-performance 18,000 BTU, 23 SEER2 outdoor condenser designed for reliable heating and cooling. This component provides energy-efficient variable-speed comfort and must be paired with a compatible indoor unit to form a complete mini-split system.
As a 23 SEER2 inverter-driven condenser, the HVAC Mirage MAGNUS OMZH181C delivers precise temperature control and high-efficiency operation. This unit utilizes eco-friendly R-454B low-GWP refrigerant to meet modern environmental standards. When professionally installed with a matching indoor air handler, it provides robust performance for your climate control needs.
Outdoor Condenser (OMZH181C)
- Voltage Requirement: 220V (208-230V / 60Hz 1Ph).
- Line Set Size: Requires 3/8" Liquid x 7/8" Suction copper line set (NOT included).

Pro-Installer Tip: When installing the HVAC Mirage MAGNUS condenser, address the risk of leaking flare connections by ensuring flare fittings are torqued to factory specifications. This prevents long-term refrigerant loss and maintains system efficiency. Always use a Digital Torque Wrench for precise tightening, and hold a vacuum below 500 microns for 15 minutes before opening service valves, in accordance with EPA Section 608 mandates for proper refrigerant handling. Additionally, use 14/4 AWG stranded wire for communication to prevent E1 errors.
