Diversitech 22098 Air Handler Foam Block 8x4 in

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH 22098 is a foam block designed to support residential and light commercial air handler units during installation. Measuring 8 inches by 8 inches by 4 inches, this block provides a stable, vibration-dampening base that helps isolate the air handler from the floor or mounting surface. The foam construction absorbs operational vibration, reducing noise transmission and protecting both the unit and the surrounding structure. HVAC technicians use this block as a quick, code-friendly solution for elevating and stabilizing air handlers in closet, utility room, and attic installations.

This foam block is suited for use in residential new construction and retrofit installations where a level, cushioned support is required beneath an air handler cabinet. It is commonly placed under the unit before refrigerant lines, drain connections, and duct work are finalized. The block keeps the unit off the floor surface, which also helps protect the cabinet from incidental moisture contact in slab or pan installations.

Key Features

• Foam construction dampens vibration and reduces noise transmission through the floor or mounting surface
• Dimensions of 8 inches by 8 inches by 4 inches provide a stable elevated base for air handler cabinets
• Lightweight material simplifies handling and positioning during installation
• Raises unit off floor surface to help protect cabinet bottom from incidental moisture exposure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style support accessory for residential and light commercial air handler units requiring a foam isolation and elevation block.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians as part of an air handler set. Power to the air handler and associated equipment should be confirmed off at the disconnect and breaker before positioning the unit on the block. Ensure the foam block is placed on a clean, level surface before lowering the air handler cabinet onto it. Follow local mechanical codes and manufacturer installation instructions for proper unit support and clearance requirements.
