How to Pick the Perfect Line Set Cover

Mini split line set covers conceal the unsightly refrigerant/drain lines and wiring connecting your indoor and outdoor unit. Installing a line set cover makes your installation look professional and clean. It also protects your lines and wiring from exposure to the elements, including UV rays, which can break down insulation over time.

As an added benefit, line set covers are paintable, so you can match the color of your siding and preserve your home's decor.

Line Set Cover FAQs

Here are some common questions we get about line set covers.

Why should I install line set covers?

Line set covers can protect your sensitive mini split lines and wiring from UV and fire damage. They are made of high-quality PVC with UV inhibitors for outdoor service in all weather conditions.

Enclosing the lines also creates a cleaner look and improves curb appeal. They sit flush with the wall, eliminating insect or bird nests that could form in the gap.

Can UV rays really damage my line set?

The insulation used in line sets breaks down over time. Direct exposure to sunlight and the elements hastens this breakdown.

Can I paint my line set covers?

Yes! Line set covers can be painted with most house paints to match your exterior decor.

How do you install line set covers?

Installation is a breeze with modular design and snap-on components. Any necessary screws are included with the products.

Can I use line set covers indoors?

Yes! Use line set covers anywhere you want to conceal cabling, piping, or wiring.
