Mounting material
Mounting material is used to install air conditioner outdoor units safely, securely and with reduced vibration. This includes wall brackets, support feet, foot sets, vibration dampers, anti-vibration material and other mounting components for split and multi split air conditioners.
At Hewa, you will find mounting material for air conditioning installations in homes, offices, retail spaces, workshops and project-based applications. When selecting the right material, check load capacity, mounting position, surface type, outdoor unit weight, vibration damping, noise reduction, weather exposure and service access.
Selecting mounting material
Mounting material for air conditioners is used to place the outdoor unit firmly, safely and with reduced vibration. Depending on the situation, this may include wall brackets, mounting rails, support feet, foot sets, vibration dampers, rubber mats, bolts, nuts and other mounting components. Correct mounting helps prevent movement, structure-borne noise, uneven placement and unnecessary strain on refrigerant pipes or connections.
The right choice depends on outdoor unit weight, installation location, surface type, air conditioning system type and required noise reduction. For the complete installation setup, also review air conditioning installation material, air conditioner outdoor units and air conditioning accessories.
Important when choosing mounting material
- Check the weight and dimensions of the air conditioner outdoor unit
- Select mounting suitable for wall mounting, floor placement, roof placement or façade installation
- Match wall bracket, support foot or foot set to load capacity and surface type
- Use vibration dampers to reduce structure-borne noise and mechanical stress
- Check corrosion resistance, weather exposure and stable fixing points
- Keep sufficient free space around the outdoor unit for airflow and service
- Check that refrigerant pipework, condensate drainage and electrical connection can be connected without strain
Stable installation of air conditioner outdoor units
An air conditioner outdoor unit must be installed firmly and level. With wall mounting, the façade or structure must have sufficient load capacity and the fixing points must be selected correctly. With floor or roof placement, the surface, water drainage, wind load and vibration isolation are important. Incorrect mounting can cause noise issues, uneven placement, vibration or additional strain on pipework.
Vibration dampers and anti-vibration material are used to reduce structure-borne noise between the outdoor unit and the surface. This is especially important when installing on façades, flat roofs, balconies or lightweight structures. For installers, it is sensible to check in advance whether the selected bracket, support foot or damper matches unit weight, mounting position, technical requirements and future maintenance access.
Frequently asked questions about mounting material
What is air conditioning mounting material used for?
Air conditioning mounting material is used to install an outdoor unit firmly, safely and with reduced vibration. This includes wall brackets, support feet, foot sets, vibration dampers and mounting components.
Which mounting material do I need for an outdoor unit?
This depends on outdoor unit weight, installation location, surface type and available space. Always check load capacity, mounting position and the technical documentation of the air conditioning system.
Why are vibration dampers important?
Vibration dampers reduce structure-borne noise and vibrations between the outdoor unit and wall, floor, roof structure or support feet. This helps limit noise nuisance and mechanical stress.
Can an outdoor unit be installed on a wall bracket?
Yes, provided the wall bracket is suitable for the weight and dimensions of the outdoor unit and the wall has sufficient load capacity. Also check vibration damping, free airflow and service access.
What should an installer check during installation?
Check load capacity, fixing points, surface type, level placement, vibration damping, corrosion resistance, free air discharge, pipe route, condensate drainage and maintenance access.
