We are in the process of installing a new 16 SEER Friedrich 11,800 BTU ductless mini split heat pump . This unit indicates it has an inverter drive compressor .
I purchased this system from Johnstone Supply , on sale last week .
I should have more than enough copper tubing left over , from our last install ( 2 seasons ago ) .
We are putting it in our bedroom . The first photo shows the indoor unit mounted on the wall .
I used a 3" hole saw to cut the hole through the dry wall and through the exterior wood sheathing and aluminum siding .
The second photo shows the 2 copper lines , the control cable and the drain hose , sticking out the exterior wall .
The black drain hose is automotive heater hose I had left from another project . I think it is 5/8" ID .
The last photo is showing 6 " flag stones " , 12" x 12" x 3" and a sack of sand . The intent is to pull the flagstones , level the ground with the sand and replace the flag stones .
I plan to put the condenser unit in the flag stones , screwed to 4" x 4" pressure treated wooden runners .
I have not run the AC power , yet .
More to follow .
God bless
Wyr
