HVAC rubber vibration pads

[nahad74]

After the rubber pad install do you still have to mount the ac condenser to the concrete pad?

[DrZarkloff]

@nahad74 Yes, you do.

Great video doc, I sell Tempstar and Climate master for the Corkensteel supply house out of Louisville Ky and these are a great seller. We stock em by the pallet loads....

[DrZarkloff]

@HVACRSupply The rubber pads are my favorite.

@drzarkloff do a youtube search for "space people from the future." I believe you actually inspired the music video. the group that made the song searches the corners of youtube for motivation, and I am 99% sure they found you back in 2007.

[DrZarkloff]

@thorlockthemage I've inspired many in my time. You have no idea.

[thorlockthemage]

Space People. From the Future. Messing with my. Condenser unit!

[DrZarkloff]

@thorlockthemage lol. I have the same problem.

Thanks Dr. Z. I will try them out this summer on my new Goodman 3Ton Condensing Unit. Can you get them cheap online? Great videos.. I live to see everyone of them.  Peace.

[DrZarkloff]

@Area51XP You could check around online. I bought mine at Baker Distributing. Johnstone Supply sells them, too.

[co2x3]

Doc Z nice clip where can i get those pads? we got the cork rubber coated ones. I need to do a job with your type. keeps the units bottom from rusting out helps keep the critters out.

[DrZarkloff]

@co2x3 I like the rubber ones the best, too.

[MrJoe0219]

need to show how to hook up the 24 volts and a thermostat

[DrZarkloff]

@MrJoe0219 Check out one of my thermostat videos.

[V8Jagnut]

good vid. dam that coil looked like it could use some TLC.

[DrZarkloff]

@V8Jagnut Believe it or not, they were clean.

[487livespot]

never knew that...thanks for the tip, keep the vids coming

[DrZarkloff]

@487livespot Thanks for watching.

[84randomdude]

I have never seen those before. it is OK if the unit does not have them?

[DrZarkloff]

@84randomdude The system will do okay without them. The rubber pads prevent excessive noise from vibration and they allow the condensing unit to drain properly.

[84randomdude]

@DrZarkloff OK thanks for all the great info Dr. Z!!

[Metalcastr]

Hmm, something like that would be good for my window a/c.

[DrZarkloff]

@Metalcastr They might.

[Nutintoitbut2doit]

Hay Dr.Z there are 2 kinds of those pads the rubber and cork and the ones you have there. The ones you have are the best. We cant use those under cond. units in our area due to the anchors we have to use. But they work great for rooftops when the Scroll comp. kicks on, our you have a old unit that vibrates a little lol. I use a razor to cut them.

Good video Dr. Z

[DrZarkloff]

@Nutintoitbut2doit You could put the rubber pads under the unit before anchoring the condensing unit to the pad.

[tacomabanga1986]

i like the video and a neat thing these pads but where the hell do people mow there lawn in january? lol and can u pick these up at any parts house? oh and how bout that glue u used on the armaflex in the other video u posted a while back?

[DrZarkloff]

@tacomabanga1986 I live in Florida. That explains the greenery in the winter. You can get these pad at just about any HVAC parts house.

[PutSome5tankOnIt]

They're 'waffles'! Not for human consumption. The safest way to separate them is to 'nip' the membrane between the pads with a pair of diagonal cutting pliers. Then, just tear'em apart. The knife thing scares me.

[DrZarkloff]

@PutSome5tankOnIt Cool. I've always used a knife. I'll have to try cutting them with my tin snips.

[sraike]

Good tip. Thanks!

[DrZarkloff]

@sraike Thanks for watching.
