Aciq EL1838-3 Condensing Unit Equipment Pad 18x38x3 in

Product Description

The ACIQ EL1838-3 is an injection-molded polypropylene equipment pad designed as a mounting base for residential air conditioning condensing units. Measuring 18 inches x 38 inches x 3 inches, it provides a stable, self-leveling support surface without the need for inserts. Uniform ribbing across the underside transfers load evenly to the ground, while a subtle surface texture prevents unit slide. The pad is lightweight for easy handling on the job site and is drillable for securing the condensing unit when required.

This pad is used in residential HVAC installations wherever a condensing unit requires a firm, level mounting base. It is suitable for new installations and replacements in both ground-level and low-clearance applications. The concrete gray color and rounded edges give it a clean, professional appearance that blends with standard residential exteriors. Each pad is molded with its dimensions in raised letters for quick field identification.

Key Features

• Injection-molded polypropylene construction — lightweight yet structurally rigid

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style mounting pad for residential air conditioning condensing units requiring an 18 inches x 38 inches footprint base.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician as part of a condensing unit set. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the system before positioning or securing the unit on the pad. When drilling for fasteners, use appropriate anchoring hardware rated for outdoor use. Ensure the pad is placed on firm, compacted ground to maintain the self-leveling benefit of the ribbed underside.
