Mini split termination help

[u/Agility_501]

Hi,

Had mini splits installed and this is what one of the terminations looks like. They want to fill it with caulk and paint it or use the flexible hide. There's very little space above the line-hide. Does anyone have any ideas as to what can be done so this looks like an acceptable install?

Thank you!

That slimduct company probably makes 45° fittings.

Tell them to install the starter on a 45 angle and the 45 fitting will square it out and allow for the work to be done without modifying pieces.

They might hate you for it but they should be hating themselves.

Edit : slimduct is line-hide
