Mitsubishi Electric srd-5 Snow Rain Diverter Top Cover

Product Description

The MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC srd-5 is an aluminum snow and rain diverter top cover designed to protect ductless outdoor units from harsh winter weather. It channels rooftop snowmelt and freezing rain away from the top of the unit, reducing the risk of ice formation that can lock up the fan motor. Built from aluminum, the srd-5 resists rust and corrosion, making it a reliable choice for installations in coastal environments where salt air accelerates oxidation on lesser materials. HVAC technicians and installers use this cover during initial installation or as a retrofit on existing outdoor units.

The srd-5 is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor unit installations exposed to significant winter precipitation or overhead water sources. It is also designed for double-stacked outdoor unit configurations, where it diverts condensation dripping from an upper-mounted unit away from the lower-mounted unit below. This makes it a practical solution on rooftops, carports, or tight equipment yards where vertical unit stacking is common practice.

Key Features

• Diverts snowmelt and freezing rain away from the outdoor unit to prevent fan motor ice-lock
• Aluminum construction resists rust and corrosion, including in coastal salt-air environments
• Compatible with double-stacked outdoor unit installations to redirect upper-unit condensation
• Straightforward installation process with no specialized tools required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style top cover diverter for compatible MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC outdoor units, including double-stacked outdoor unit configurations. Refer to the applicable equipment installation manual or MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC technical documentation to confirm fitment for your specific outdoor unit model.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Power down the outdoor unit at the disconnect before beginning any work on or around the equipment. Secure all fasteners fully before restoring power to avoid vibration-related loosening during operation. Follow local mechanical codes and the manufacturer installation instructions for proper placement and attachment.
