Diversitech P142-E2436 Equipment Pad 24x36x2 in Hvac

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH P142-E2436 is a recycled-plastic equipment pad designed to elevate and stabilize outdoor HVAC units on residential and light-commercial job sites. Measuring 24 inches by 36 inches with a 2-inch thickness, the pad provides a level, moisture-resistant base that keeps condensing units and heat pumps off direct ground contact. Constructed from recycled black pearl plastic, it resists UV degradation, ground moisture, and the freeze-thaw cycles that cause concrete pads to crack over time. HVAC technicians and installers choose this pad as a durable, code-friendly alternative to poured concrete bases.

This equipment pad is suited for residential split-system condensing units, heat pumps, and similarly sized outdoor mechanical equipment. The 24-by-36-inch footprint accommodates a wide range of standard residential condensing unit bases. The 2-inch elevation lifts the unit clear of standing water and lawn debris, supporting proper drainage around the refrigerant lines and electrical connections at the unit base. Installation is straightforward on compacted gravel or level grade, making it practical for new installations and equipment changeouts alike.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or mechanical contractor. Before setting the pad, ensure the ground surface is compacted, level, and free of debris — a compacted gravel base is recommended for long-term stability. Power down the system at both the disconnect and the breaker before moving or connecting any outdoor unit placed on the pad. Verify local mechanical codes for any site-specific requirements regarding equipment elevation and pad type.
