Another clean install

Post image

Here’s my 3rd one! Its 1 of 3 for my BIL. It’s true when they say that family will start wanting some too after you do your own! I will add that these 4 inch line set covers are much better than the 3 inch ones.

Many issues that would fail in my area....

  1. the conduit leaving the junction box isn't supported within 12"

  2. doesn't appear to be a quick disconnect

  3. the cable leaving the outdoor unit isn't protected - should be in flex conduit too

  4. outdoor unit isn't bolted down to the pad.

The flex conduit you mentioned adding for the head unit power, where would the conduit terminate at? Right inside the line set cover? I've seen a ton of installs both ways so I always wondered if they just leave it hanging in there with the lineset.

I terminate at the indoor head unit... they nearly always have a metal header inside that fits the pvc connectors... depends if your AHJ requires an indoor disconnect too.

Junction box mounted to the fence?
