PIONEER Decorative PVC Slim Line Cover Kit for Mini Split Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps

Bought this based on other reviews to cover the installation of a Mitsubishi ductless heat pump for a bedroom. The delivery was prompt and there were plenty of parts to install a long down drop of the electrical, mechanical and water drain lines (using PVC) parts. Two halves have interlocking grooves. Install the back side to the wall and lay in the lines, then snap on the cover and screw on the connectors at the joints. Literally these things snap together and they hold well. When cutting to length , I used tin snips, but any its a relatively soft plastic and cut easily. I ordered the unit on line and hired a contractor to put the unit in, but I did the line cover kit myself as he ran the lines. The end result is very professional and clean looking. There were extra parts for a couple of 90 degree turns and additional runs an connectors. The contractor was so impressed with this product he said he'll use them for his next install. Its a great product for the money that will protect the installation from the sun and weather and make it look better too. I highly recommend this product. This is not a paid or other wise solicited review.

Absolute necessity for installing mini split.

The product itself is great. Good design, all the pieces you need for a 16’ run. What is not acceptable are the instructions and pictures within the instruction. If you attach to brick or masonry, additional anchors and screws are needed. The housing that allows the hoses to penetrate through and cap are well designed and work perfectly, as long as you confirm you have the proper fasteners for your application. The large plastic sides with notches in them go against the wall surface and the smaller sides clip or snap directly into the other section so the smooth portion is out facing. There are enough included 45’s and stretchable 90’s and flex tube to do the trick. Make sure before you install the last wall piece where cables come out of the wall that you use putty, great stuff or insulation to press into and around hoses. I used caulk to assist mounting this first portion, my picture, very top piece, curved. This was easier after drilling holes into the brick and caulking the open air mortar lines so no air or water can penetrate after entire line set is in place within cover. Caulking allowed the below runs to go in using only gutter screws so I did not have to drill additional holes into the brick. Once the height is known and cut, the curved nature and bulk of the lines will keep the plastic covers in place since the line sets curve around into electrical and gas line connects. Although the company tells you a video exists where you can watch an install, it does not exist. Good news is each piece is able to snap over the prior piece so positioning is easier if mistakes are made.

The quality of the product is great! It is sturdy and looks like it will hold pretty good for long time. (time will tell!) Areas need attention - 1. Need better instructions. If you are a DIYer like me - it is hard to guess which side of the plate is top or bottom. (The plate with the lines goes down on the wall, smooth side goes on top) 2. Stainless steel screws that comes with this are too short, I had to get a box of longer screws from HD. (Looks like they provided short ones on purpose so people don't hit something inside the wall like a livewire or pipe) - Make sure you don't have a pipe or live wire inside the wall if you get longer screws from HD/Lowes/Amz. (1.25 SS screws holds pretty good) 3. The top plate is hard to snap on - need a good elbow grease to squeeze bottom plate and snap the top one on at the same time. 4. The joints are not 100% waterproof - you may need 100% silicone bead around the joints. 5. Handle the elbows that come with it carefully - the plastic screw that hold both ends is flimsy. 6. I used 3 screw for each long section, you will need to predrill holes before putting it on the wall.

More affordable than most, they look fine, I'm mixed and matched with another product not suitable for that purpose. Stick with one manufacturer as it appears they have color variations of white,,, who knew, I guess I did,, but I hoped for more. I will update if I have problems with UV deteriorations, been 6 months so far so good. But I should easily be able to tell as I mixed brands keeping my fingers crossed.

A couple pieces of this kit (the top hole cover, and the accordion piece) need to slip over the ends of the lineset BEFORE it's connected. I installed it afterward, so I had to cut those two pieces to get them on. The plastic seems heavy and fits together nicely, which is good. My only concern is where the two vertical sections fit together... there's a union piece that's definitely not water tight. I caulked it after I installed it, but it seems like they should have thought of that. Size wise, my 1/4" x 3/8" lineset, drain hose, and 1/2" flexible conduit fit snugly inside this, but anything larger wouldn't have. If you're not using conduit you should have a smaller bundle than I did.

Muy buen producto, precio justo. Llego muy rapido

Las canaletas tienen buen material, pero los coples, y codos son de un material quebradizo, si se les caen al suelo, rueguen por que no se les quiebren.
