Diversitech P143-EL1838 Equipment Pad 18x38x3 Inches Gray

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH P143-EL1838 is a lightweight, molded plastic equipment pad designed to support outdoor HVAC units, condensers, heat pumps, and similar ground-mounted equipment. Measuring 18 inches by 38 inches with a 3-inch thickness, it elevates equipment above grade to reduce exposure to ground moisture, standing water, and surface degradation. The gray plastic construction resists corrosion and weathering, making it suited for long-term outdoor installations. HVAC technicians and installers use this pad as a stable, level base that simplifies equipment placement and meets common installation requirements for outdoor condensing units.

This equipment pad is intended for residential and light commercial outdoor HVAC installations where a pre-formed, code-friendly base is needed. Its 18 by 38 inch footprint accommodates standard condensing unit and heat pump bases without field fabrication. The 3-inch elevation helps keep equipment above typical ground-level moisture and debris accumulation, reducing the risk of corrosion to the unit base pan and refrigerant line connections near the cabinet.

Key Features

• 18 x 38 x 3 inch dimensions accommodate standard HVAC condensing unit footprints
• 3-inch elevation lifts equipment above ground moisture and standing water
• Gray molded plastic construction resists corrosion, rot, and weathering
• Lightweight design simplifies handling and positioning during installation
• Pre-formed shape eliminates field fabrication of concrete or composite pads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation equipment pad for residential and light commercial outdoor HVAC condensing units, heat pumps, and similar ground-mounted mechanical equipment with footprints fitting within an 18 x 38 inch surface area.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or mechanical contractor. Before setting equipment, ensure the pad is placed on a firm, level surface with adequate drainage to prevent water pooling beneath the unit. Verify that the pad dimensions and load rating are appropriate for the specific equipment being installed before securing refrigerant lines or electrical connections. Consult local mechanical codes for any additional requirements regarding equipment pad material or elevation height.
