DuctlessAire Outdoor Wall Bracket - Mini Split Mounting Bracket - Ductless Air Conditioner Wall Mount - Mini Split AC/Heating System Accessories for Window AC, HVAC, Heat Pump & More (9000-36000 BTU)

Instructions say the top horizontal arm holds no weight and weight must be placed on the fasteners of the 2 vertical arms. So Its nice to hit 2 studs. Unfortunately I did not, and hit 1 stud..Then Drilled a 1/2 inch hole into the stud. Trying to install a toggle bolt...Luckily, after careful deliberation I filled the 1/2 inch hole with exterior wood glue and a piece of half inch dowel, and was able to capture, at least, 1 vertical arm with the included lag bolt fasteners on a stud. The other arm got the toggle bolts. Unfortunately I could not locate a stud for 1 vertical arm. After doing some heavy engineering maths on 3 or 4 different types of fasteners I used, I came up with the number of how much weight this could hold, based on the fasteners, and it was well over 4x the 60 lbs. I weighed my condenser at. Using the engineering maths weights I felt comfortable doing a few dips off of the mounting bracket to check my work. I do believe the top horizontal arm does add some structural support and the manual is saying dont depend on it, just forget the top arm exists when making your engineering weight calculations with fasteners and what youre mounting into. Now that the mount is mounted with fasteners. The quality of the mount is there. Its fully capable of securing the 55 lbs of load. The rubber feet dampeners do help with noise reduction and I consider what is included robust for the quality of the dampener. Most importantly is the arms length. Its a little longer and gets my unit farther away from a flush mount with the wall. This is important to increase the efficiency of the unit as it tries to draw in air from behind it. You want these long arms to give more room behind the unit.

These brackets worked out perfectly for our mini split installation. The unit was professionally installed, and even the installers commented on the solid quality of the brackets and how well they were built to hold the weight. The picture shows our larger 24,000 BTU C&H unit, and the brackets are supporting it with no problem at all. They’ve proven sturdy and reliable, giving us confidence in the setup, and I will update this review if anything changes!

good quality, easy to install and strong.

Simple to install, works well with a 18K unit, has all the hardware needed. Not much else to say

Item was damaged in shipping Had to buy replacement screws to be able to install

The instructions are very clear it all went together easily. I used the provided wall fasteners, but they will need to be painted- they will rust.

Fit our small mini split, no problem Our contractor installed it. He said it was exactly what we needed to get it up off the ground

It was easy to put together and put up, but when I put the unit on it, it sagged a little. However I am not certain if that was primarily by my cedar siding compressing. I will see how it lasts with time.
