I have been puzzled on this topic. The various split units I have looked at ask for 12" clearance from the wall. The longest brackets I am finding are 22", so a 12" unit would only get maybe 10" using a wall mount bracket. In this mount video, It looks like only 4" from the wall was allowed. That has got to be a mistake? I notice this is a common question and the person posting the video never answers any questions. I sort of have to consider the video bad information.
The simple answer is, you will see a drop in efficienty and running capacity the closer it is to the wall. Normally as long as you're about 6" away. It's not too noticable. But if you can install this on the ground, it is always preferable doing it that way over installing it on a wall bracket due to getting extra space that allows the system to maximize airflow through the outdoor coil.
I am installing a 24000 btu which weighs in at 40kg, so it will be impossible to get 300mm from the wall. Not sure what to do now even though the bracket is good for up to 120Kg. It has to be mounted on the first floor due to pipe length etc.
I put up the bar for a 100 pound 24000 BTU, I made sure I found wood to screw into, mounting like this would hold 100 pounds, those gromets will pull out.
Yes, it is possible. But you will likely need to purchase a third party wall mounting bracket. Any brand will work, just make sure it's sized accordingly for your outdoor unit.
You should be fine, but double check with manufacturers instructions for possible warranty void. If you don't care about, then just remember, they designed the brackets for this unit to perform under a hanging force instead of the supporting force you are going to apply. I know it sounds semantical, but in engineering it makes a difference, considering gravity and vibration.
the c-channel is pretty weak. it's designed to resist stretching and not compaction forces. I'd recommend bolting both top and bottom to the wall (in this video, it's just the "bottom"), and attaching angled support struts between the c-channel on the wall and the mid/outer part of the arm that extends outward.
Sorry, Dario. If we showed every step to every tutorial they'd be incredibly long. Surely there are TH-cam videos out there specifically for that one step!
I appreciate the video, but I want to complain about your use of galvanized fasteners. You can get a great deal on stainless fasteners when ordering online (if buying units of 20+)

Can i use this wall mount on a wood siding?
My angle regulators cannot be threaded in by hand, I need a socket, is that normal?

Great job. Can you tell me what anchor I would use for a mini split bracket to go into STUCCO…. Thanks
blue coated masonry screws
Does the outside unit have to be leveled or on a slope
Could this be used to place a Air handler on inside of a garage?
It would depend on the size and design of the air handler.
The manual states to mount the unit 1ft from the wall for air flow. Is this possible?
Yes, it is possible. But you will likely need to purchase a third party wall mounting bracket. Any brand will work, just make sure it's sized accordingly for your outdoor unit.
Thanks this is for a cooper and hunter 18k btu two zone unit. Do you not sell a mount that complies with your own mounting instructions?
If I want to install the bracket upside down because of lack of space (balcony), is that possible?

These aren't designed to go upside-down, but simply purchase a heavy galv bracket that can do so..
You may be better off purchasing a different bracket.
what is the bit drill size for the wall? thanks
The drill bit size depends on the size of the anchors that you choose to use.
Nice. Now do it with a 5 ton.
Those anchors seem like they would fall right out
Why don’t you show how the regular concrete screws are installed?
Sorry, Dario. If we showed every step to every tutorial they'd be incredibly long. Surely there are TH-cam videos out there specifically for that one step!
Get rid of the music not needed.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll turn it down for future vids!
