    Basic Mitsubishi But...

    Nothing spectacular or special about this install. So, why is it on the Wall of Pride?

    Because the location is water access only, 90 minute drive from shop then about 20 minutes by boat. This means that I needed to bring every tool, nut, bolt, screw, etc and not forget anything.

    Can anyone see what I forgot?

    I actually removed the two screws from the left side that holds the top on.

    Better life choices when you were younger? LOL. I know people have to do this in remote locations, but sheesh.
    BTW, nice job under severe circumstances.
    Can you get to at least 'ice road trucker' it in the winter? Friend of mine lives in Dawson, Yucon, Canada. When the river freezes, basically it gives them a much needed shortcut from Whitehorse to Canada. But they routinely get down to -40°.
    If I do a job in 30 minutes it's because I spent 30 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. You owe me for the years, not the minutes.

    The answer is... clamps for the drain line and seal tight.

    The line set goes straight up into the soffit and turns left to enter the house.

    Don’t like square d disconnects. Call them fire starters. First thing I tell new employees is to never turn one off. Go inside to breaker. Recommend replacing it with a pull out style. Had too many that will only give you 120 after it’s been turned off. Wish I still had the pics of houses with melted siding from where the disconnect failed. It’s not a breaker only a switch.

    Because it's a wooden house i would not be worried too much about the fasteners for the drain hose. The thing i would be most worried is that i don't see any vibration dampers under that unit. It must be crazy noise from vibration inside the house when it's running. If i would install that unit (or any other) in wooden house, i would install it on ground support only. I use wall support only on concrete wall when i can be sure that there will be no noise coming inside from the outdoor unit.

    You’ve obviously never installed a Mitsubishi. The are so quiet and smooth, that the only way to tell if it’s running is to see the fan turning.

    And, there are vibration absorbers under the unit.

    up high so the beavers won't chew the cables or pipe insulation, or try to net inside the service cover.
    or high enough to output air distance to the tanks meets the spec .

    It failed to perform suffiently cool due to the air intake on the left does not meet the clearance spec. Probably the rear side also.

    Is the cable going from outdoor to indoor unit rated at 600v? It looks too thin for such.

    We installed a Fujitsu like that but on that stucco over foam wall construction and we used a different brand wall mount than normal which had really hard isolators. And it made a really gentle hum that the owner couldn't stand. That one cost us a bit to swap out for a ground mount so now we are a bit gun shy about wall mounting.

    Unless we change direction we are likely to end up where we are going.

    The owners care and the inspector cares. Codes specify only 600v rated cable be used for 240v application.

    That would make NMD90 aka Romex illegal and would pretty make every house in North America in violation of the NEC and CEC.

    Wrong again.
