- Low Profile housing saves vertical space.
- Air handler distributes conditioned air.
The largest low-clearance handler in Webasto’s A-Series, the A18 Low Profile delivers 18,000 BTU of cooling for sizeable salons or master suites where overhead space is genuinely tight. This webasto biggest low profile handler matches the performance of the standard compact A18 in a chassis built specifically for shallow ceiling installations.
At 23.6 inches wide and just 8.10 inches tall, this is the widest low profile configuration in the A-Series range — the physical tradeoff that comes with fitting 18,000 BTU of cooling capacity into a chassis this shallow, since the airflow has to move through a wider path to compensate for the reduced height.
Why Choose the Webasto A18 Low Profile
This unit carries Webasto’s standard 2-year warranty. If your salon or master suite needs 18,000 BTU of cooling but the overhead clearance rules out the standard compact A18, this is the largest low profile option Webasto offers in the single-blower A-Series range.
What to Know Before Installing
- A Webasto A-Series Cabin Control Kit is required for installation — this listing is the air handler only
- Measure your overhead clearance carefully — at 23.6″ wide and only 8.10″ tall, this is the widest low profile unit in the A-Series lineup
- This handler requires a matching Webasto chiller (C-Series, V-Series, or VX-Series) as the central cooling source
- Can be extended with an EHM1200W or EHM1800W electric heat module and flow control valve for independent cabin heating
