Product Description
The DIVERSITECH hpr-6 is a one-piece, gray plastic heat pump riser that elevates condensers, heat pumps, and air handlers 6 inches above grade. Rated for up to 500 pounds of load, it provides a stable, code-compatible base for equipment that requires elevation above typical snow accumulation or drainage levels. The riser mounts using butyl mastic for a secure, vibration-resistant connection to the equipment pad or unit base. It is installed by HVAC technicians during new equipment commissioning or as a retrofit on existing systems.
Heat pump risers are most commonly specified in climates where snow accumulation can reach the base of outdoor units. Elevating the unit 6 inches keeps the coils and refrigerant connections clear of ice that builds up from condensate drainage during heat pump operation. This riser is suited for ducted residential and light commercial applications involving outdoor condenser units, heat pumps, and air handlers where ground-level clearance is required.
Key Features
- One-piece construction for straightforward installation without alignment of multiple sections
- 6 inches of elevation to keep coil and refrigerant connections above snow and drainage ice
- 500-pound load capacity supports full-size residential and light commercial equipment
- Gray color blends with standard equipment and pad installations
- Butyl mastic mounting method provides vibration dampening and secure adhesion
- Plastic material resists corrosion and weathering in outdoor installations
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style support riser for ducted residential and light commercial heat pump condensers, air handlers, and condenser units requiring 6 inches of base elevation.
Installation Notes
Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians. Power down and disconnect the unit at the disconnect box before repositioning any outdoor equipment. Apply butyl mastic per manufacturer guidance to the mating surfaces before setting the unit onto the riser. Verify that the installed assembly remains level and that the unit is re-secured to any required tie-down or anchoring hardware in accordance with local mechanical codes.
