This is how I installed my A/c, on a pair of wrought-iron brackets made from old hand forged barn-door hinges, 2" x 3/8" section. This keeps them up off the deck in case of snow. There is no requirement in France for external disconnects. I ducted each 'split' through its own 2.5" PVC pipe, separate condense hose. French technician came today to 'gas up' and fit the copper exp/comp. tubes for me- can't do this gas myself, the pressure is too high [ R410A], special cone tools are required and the gas is 'weighed' in rather than pressure gauged. Eagle eyes may note he has has slightly dented the casing, LH front. Optical illusion, but the unit has 5" clearance at rear. The rocks are granite from Mrs B's "door mining" exploits, we put them there to stop our loony mail man-from crashing his van into the unit. Interior units are on 5/8" birch-ply mounts, as far as I've got with the sheetrock, all on Douglas Fir studs, 8" of glassfibre quilt to go in now.
