SHOP MINI SPLIT INSTALL THREAD:

I have received my new mini split AC for my shop and have started installing it on the wall. So far l have hung the indoor unit and cut the pass thru for the wall.

The indoor air handler is hung on a sheet metal hanger that is easy to install with two screws into the stud walls.

The pass through is a piece of PVC that the liquid lines and wiring go to the outside unit. The unit came with a flimsy plastic pipe for the pass through. However, I had some spare PVC and more importantly I already had the right size hole saw for the pipe.

You can test for leaks with the vacuum pump and gauge set. You just draw a vacuum then stop the pump then watch the gauges. You will see the gauges move if there is a leak. I had several leaks to tighten. I wasn’t tightening the flare connections enough.
