The Rheem RCHZ3617STANVU evaporator coil is designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems requiring a 3 ton R410A indoor cooling coil. Its uncased N-coil configuration supports efficient heat transfer while helping the system remove indoor humidity during the cooling cycle.
This model is built for vertical-only installation and is commonly used as a replacement service coil in compatible Rheem and Ruud HVAC systems. The 17.5" cabinet width makes it suitable for matched system installations where space, airflow alignment, and refrigerant compatibility are key considerations.
The RCHZ3617STANVU includes TXV refrigerant control for stable metering performance and is listed as a standard-efficiency uncased air handler coil. This coil has a 36,000 BTU/h nominal capacity and uses 3/8" liquid and 3/4" suction connections.

No, the Rheem RCHZ3617STANVU would not be considered a direct fit for model RCFLHM3617CC.
Based on the available product information, the RCFLHM3617CC is a 3 ton, 17 inch, multi position cased coil, while the RCHZ3617STANVU is a 3 ton, 17.5 inch, uncased, vertical only N coil. Because the cabinet style, width, and application are different, it should not be treated as a direct replacement for the RCFLHM3617CC.
To help avoid fit, performance, or installation issues, we recommend not purchasing this coil until your application has been reviewed by a local licensed HVAC technician who is familiar with your system, your installation requirements, and all applicable local codes and safety standards.
