When installing mini split indoor units, accurate mounting is essential for proper airflow, condensate drainage, and long-term stability. Most systems include templates to assist with precise placement—but there are some differences depending on the product line.
EZPRO and DIY Systems: Templates Included
Both EZPRO and DIY systems come with pre-cut mounting templates in the box. These are:
-
Easy to use
-
Marked with correct screw hole and piping locations
-
Designed to speed up the install and reduce measurement errors
These templates are especially helpful for first-time installers or DIY users, allowing them to visualize placement and prepare wall penetrations accurately.
If your system is missing the template, no worries—we can send you a replacement. Just reach out to our support team and we’ll be happy to assist.
Advantage and Olympus Series: Use the Backplate as a Template
The Advantage system, designed for professional HVAC installation, does not come with a separate paper or cardboard template. However, the metal back mounting plate on the indoor unit can be removed and used as a guide.
To do this:
-
Remove the back metal plate from the indoor unit (it’s designed for easy detachment).
-
Hold it against the wall where the unit will be mounted.
-
Mark the screw holes and piping path directly from the plate.
-
Reinstall the plate and mount the indoor unit as usual.
This method assumes that the installer is comfortable with HVAC tools and procedures, which is appropriate for a tech-installed system like the Advantage series.
