Outdoor Mounting Bracket for Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioner Heat Pump Systems, Universal, 9000-36000 Btu Condenser

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.

Most the stuff dose not fit well together , expensive for no point,be aware

parfait

Great!
