12,000 BTU Concealed Duct ACiQ Mini Split Air Handler| R454B

Concealed Duct air handlers give you all the advantages of a multi zone mini split, without any visible air handlers on your walls or ceilings. These flexible units are designed to be concealed above the ceiling, below the floor, above a closet ceiling, above a hallway ceiling or behind a soffit. You run flex ducting from the concealed duct air handler to ceiling or wall registers in your desired location. Depending on the capacity of the unit, up to 4 flex duct runs can be connected, perfect for a pair of small bedrooms or a master suite.
The design is extremely simple return air is brought in at the rear of the unit and supply (cooled or heated) air is pushed out the front by an almost-silent squirrel cage fan. You attach a pre-made manifold takeoff or field-fabricate plenums using ductboard. Using readily available supplies, the customization possibilities are endless.
Installation Considerations
Concealed duct system installations require a certain amount of pre-planning, and are similar in scope to a standard home HVAC installation. They are best used in new construction projects or additions. Installation will require flex ducting, register vents, plenums and installation supplies in addition to the equipment components. The Concealed Duct units have a factory-installed pump to lift the condensation. From there you will use PVC to construct a drain system to a safe wastewater location.
Features
- 12,000 btu of Heating or Cooling
- Dry and Fan modes also available
- Good for a smaller room in most climates
- Wall mounted thermostat included
