It finely came in. This thing is huge. It says 9,000BTU on the box but the out door unit weighs some where between 70 and 100lb. The place where the shipping weight was printed was torn off.
It weighs so much you really don't want it hanging off the side of your house.
The heat exchanger surface area is likely at least 4 times what you see with a 5,000BTU window unit.

The concrete base took about 180 pounds of concrete (dry weight) to fill the form.
I had to modify the form a little bit, two 80 pound bags would have worked but I widened it about 2 inches when the thing finely showed up and I saw how big it is.

Here is my little DC welder convert still chugging along. Used this to weld most everything together.


I used the packaging to find the bolt positions. I used 5/16 inch stainless eye bolts because that's what I had on hand.


The new concrete pad with 5/16 threads sticking out.


Cant wait to replace the old junk.
