Split system letting in bushfire smoke 9Jan 21, 2020 10:52 am I agree with konsjo50 and Chippy, especially if your splits are back-to-external-wall setups. We had 3 splits installed in our new build last year (during construction) and luckily I was onsite when the indoor units were going in.....the holes that the guy cut into the walls on both sides (bottom corners) of the indoor head units were fairly large. I asked him to basically do something else for a while, as we went around with the caulking gun and gap filled them as best we could. If your wall wrap is also not taped on the external pipe penetrations and the plaster holes are not filled you would have a fair amount of air leakage occurring. Here is a before/after shot of some splits we had installed. These holes in the wall were made on both bottom corners of each indoor head unit. I also tape sealed the external pipe penetrations before the bricks were laid.Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check our Homeone build blog here Move your linen into laundry and access laundry from your present linen space 1 8013 ![]() the sun master is the solar heating to "warm" the water in the tank the S26 is your hot water system which will heat the water (25 degrees?) so with both turned on you… 2 14059 ![]() Once you know the basics, the rest is easy.
