Parts List

Lists all components included with the Mini-Split 12" Wide Fixed Stand.

The Quick-Sling Mini Split 12" Stand (Model#: QSMS1201) is a robust and purpose-built support system designed for wide installation of mini-split condensing units. Manufactured by Quick Sling, LLC, located at 391 West Water St., Taunton, MA 02780, this stand is engineered to provide a stable and secure base for outdoor HVAC units, particularly those requiring a 24-inch wide pad. The product emphasizes adherence to local laws and building codes for safe installation.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Quick-Sling Mini Split 12" Stand is to elevate and stabilize mini-split condensing units, protecting them from ground-level elements such as water, snow, and debris, and reducing vibration. By lifting the unit off the ground, it helps prevent corrosion, improves airflow for better efficiency, and facilitates easier maintenance access. The "wide installation" aspect indicates its suitability for units with a broader footprint, ensuring comprehensive support. The stand is designed for a fixed installation, providing a permanent and sturdy platform.

Important Technical Specifications:

The stand's dimensions are critical for compatibility and installation. The "Side View - Expanded" shows a height of 1'-03" (15 inches) and a depth of 1'-11½" (23.5 inches). The "Side View - Retracted" maintains the 1'-03" height but shows a variable depth, likely indicating adjustability. The "End View - Fixed" illustrates a width of 1'-6" (18 inches).

A key feature is the "Spacer Bar Detail," which highlights the adjustability for bolt spacing. The spacer bar can accommodate a range from 11" (minimum) to 1'-4" (16 inches) (maximum), allowing it to fit various mini-split unit foot slot configurations. This adjustability is crucial for ensuring a precise and secure fit for different condensing unit models.

The stand is constructed from durable materials, as indicated by the "Parts List." Key components include:

A: U-Bar (MS107): These form the main structural frame of the stand.
B: Spacer and Saddle - Wide (MS109): These components connect the U-Bar frames and provide the mounting surface for the condensing unit. The "wide" designation here reinforces its suitability for broader units.
C: 3"x3" Foot Plate w/ Rubber Pad (Attached to U-Bar): These plates provide stable contact with the ground or mounting surface, with the rubber pads offering vibration dampening and protection.
D: 16-18 x 2" Galvanized Hex Bolt w/Nut, Galvanized Steel Washers, and Rubber Washers: These fasteners are used to secure the condensing unit to the stand. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, and the inclusion of rubber washers is essential for anti-vibration.
E: Stainless Steel Hex Head Self-Drilling #10 x ½" Screw: These screws are used to secure the spacer bars and saddle to the U-Bar frame, offering a strong and corrosion-resistant connection.

The stand is designed to fit on a 24-inch wide pad, which is a common size for outdoor equipment bases, ensuring broad compatibility with existing installation practices.

Usage Features (Installation Steps):

The manual provides a clear, eight-step installation guide:

Remove U-Bar Frames: Begin by taking the two U-Bar frames (Parts of MS107) from the box and positioning them.
Attach Spacer Bar & Saddle: Connect the two U-Bar frames together using the Spacer Bar & Saddle components (Parts of MS109), which are placed on top of the U-Bars.
Measure and Position Spacer Bars: Measure the distance between the foot slots on the mini-split condensing unit. Adjust the Spacer Bars & Saddle to match this distance, ensuring proper alignment for the unit.
Place Stand for Installation: Position the assembled stand in the desired location. The manual recommends using a plastic, cement, or other base for stabilization, and confirms the model fits a 24-inch wide base.
Place Condensing Unit on Stand: Carefully lift the mini-split condensing unit onto the stand, aligning its foot slots with the openings in the Spacer Bar & Saddle.
Secure Condensing Unit to Stand: Use the provided galvanized hardware (bolts, nuts, steel washers, and rubber washers from the pink & yellow labeled bags) to securely fasten the condensing unit to the stand. The rubber washers are crucial for anti-vibration.
Secure Spacer Bars & Saddle to U-Bar Frame: Once the condensing unit is secured, use the stainless steel self-drilling Tech Screws (from the tan labeled bag) to permanently attach the Spacer Bars & Saddle to the U-Bar frame.
Ready for Connections: With the unit securely mounted, it is now ready for plumbing and electrical connections.

Maintenance Features:

While the manual doesn't explicitly detail ongoing maintenance for the stand itself, several aspects contribute to its low-maintenance design and facilitate unit maintenance:

Durable Materials: The use of galvanized bolts and stainless steel screws ensures corrosion resistance, reducing the need for frequent replacement or treatment of fasteners.
Rubber Pads and Washers: These components not only dampen vibration but also protect the stand and the unit from wear and tear, contributing to longevity.
Elevated Design: By raising the condensing unit, the stand inherently protects it from ground-level moisture and debris, which are common causes of corrosion and operational issues, thereby reducing the frequency of unit-specific maintenance related to these factors.
Accessibility: The elevated position of the unit on the stand improves accessibility for technicians to perform routine maintenance, cleaning, and repairs on the condensing unit itself, without having to work directly on the ground.

Disclaimer and Safety:

The manual includes a "Safe Install Warning" emphasizing that proper installation is critical for ensuring the product's load capacity. It states that while mounting hardware is included, the buyer is responsible for determining its suitability for the selected mounting location and for providing additional materials if needed. Quick-Sling LLC disclaims responsibility for installation faults or defects and strongly recommends periodic inspection by a skilled technician. The "Disclaimer Of Liability" further clarifies that Quick-Sling LLC is not responsible for damages resulting from improper installation, misuse, or misapplication, and that the product is sold "as-is and with all faults," without warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This highlights the importance of professional and careful installation.
