I saw this at the Ideal Air site.

Flexible stainless steel pre-charged 23' line set with quick connect fittings allows for easy Do It Yourself installation.
No technician required.
Now with optional day/night mode.
High energy efficiency performance: 13 SEER air conditioner.
Line sets are pre-vacuumed and pre-charged with R104A refrigerant.


The Quick-connect seems pretty nice, but I think we discussed this brand before.
The design of the line-set attachment system has been changed.. (I think).

It looks like some of these Ideal Air models don't have a good SEER either.
Even the better ones aren't that great.. Not sure why, if they are using inverter tech..

That Flexible stainless steel line-set sounds interesting, never hear of one before.
My last job was used (Den Sanyo) used short copper tube bonded onto aluminum tubes..
Seems weird, but they are still holding pressure..
