Diversitech EP-36X42X3-U Concrete Equipment Pad 36x42x3 in

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH EP-36X42X3-U is a fiber-cement equipment pad designed for outdoor HVAC condensing units and portable generators. It delivers the structural integrity of a traditional concrete pad at roughly 2.5 pounds per square foot, made possible by an engineered encapsulated polystyrene (EPS) core encased in a fiber-cement shell reinforced with continuous fiber strands throughout. That fiber reinforcement allows the pad to flex under load rather than crack or break. The textured top surface resists unit slippage and promotes water drainage. The pad measures 36 x 42 x 3 inches and weighs 34.3 pounds.

This pad is suited for residential and light commercial installations wherever a stable, level equipment base is required outdoors. Typical applications include setting split-system air conditioner condensing units, heat pump outdoor sections, and portable generators on grade. The EPS core resists settling and warping, and the pad is unaffected by soil moisture, UV exposure, and temperature extremes, making it a low-maintenance alternative to poured concrete slabs in climates with freeze-thaw cycles or high UV environments.

Key Features

• Fiber-cement shell reinforced with continuous fiber strands for flex resistance instead of cracking
• Engineered EPS core resists settling, warping, and soil moisture
• Textured surface prevents equipment sliding and promotes water runoff
• Lightweight at approximately 2.5 pounds per square foot for easier handling and installation
• Resistant to UV exposure, temperature extremes, and variable soil conditions
• Eliminates the need for poured concrete and associated curing time

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose outdoor equipment pad for residential and light commercial condensing units, heat pump outdoor sections, and portable generators requiring a stable grade-level mounting surface.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or plumbers setting outdoor mechanical equipment. Power down and lock out all associated equipment before positioning the pad and setting the unit. Ensure the ground surface is level and compacted before placement to maximize the pad's settling resistance. Consult local mechanical codes for any jurisdiction-specific requirements regarding equipment clearance and pad elevation.
