Mitsubishi Electric SRD-4 Snow Rain Diverter Top Cover

Product Description

The MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC SRD-4 is an aluminum snow and rain diverter top cover designed to protect outdoor condensing units from weather-related damage during winter and wet conditions. It mounts over the top of an outdoor unit and channels snowmelt, freezing rain, and other precipitation away before it can drip onto the unit and refreeze. Refreezing water around the fan assembly is a known cause of locked fan motors and service calls that could otherwise be prevented with proper protection. The aluminum construction resists rust, making it well suited for coastal installations where corrosion is an accelerated concern.

This diverter is used in residential and light commercial mini-split and heat pump installations where outdoor units are exposed to rooftop runoff, roof eave drip, or overhead condensation. It is also suited for double-stacked outdoor unit configurations, where the top-mounted unit generates condensation that would otherwise drip directly onto the bottom-mounted unit. HVAC technicians typically spec and install this cover during new equipment commissioning or as a retrofit on existing outdoor units in problem locations.

Key Features

• Diverts snowmelt and freezing rain away from the outdoor unit, reducing risk of fan motor lockup
• Aluminum construction provides rust resistance for long-term durability in coastal and high-humidity environments
• Compatible with double-stacked outdoor unit installations to protect the lower unit from upper unit condensation
• Designed for straightforward field installation without specialized tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style accessory for MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC outdoor condensing units. Consult the equipment installation manual or manufacturer documentation to confirm fitment for your specific outdoor unit model.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified HVAC technician. Power down the outdoor unit at the disconnect before beginning any work around the top of the unit. Follow the manufacturer installation instructions included with the diverter for correct mounting orientation and fastener placement. Ensure the cover does not obstruct airflow or interfere with the fan discharge path after installation.
