ACADuser Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I have a situation where the client wants a small AC unit for the Cabana toilet room. The issue is the Cabana is very close to the property line. Anything within 3 feet of the property line needs to be one hour fire rated. And they don;t allow equipment in the 3 feet. The side is set back to 3'-6" & I could push it a bit more. Maybe to 4', so I need a very shallow condensing unit. They don't want it on the roof because you can see it from the 3rd floor. It can't be on the South side ether.

JiAngelo Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Check this out. It could mount over the toilet. https://www.acwholesalers.com/LG-LQN090HV4/p106101.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwO20BhCJARIsAAnTIVTrbGyYyYlroj21QWNWBjz4s0egVLQ-FTU9yg3C2zXd47OBLjtlcZEaAhKPEALw_wcB Also look at RV ac units. Problem is your room is less than 40sf so any wall unit is likely oversized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValleyGuy Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 You might also look at a wine room cooler unit. They are small, 110V and can mount inside of the room. I put one in a very small room about that size before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted July 21 Author Share Posted July 21 Thanks John, that unit requires a 14" deep CU which is not shown. The RV units look promising. Thanks Shayne, hadn't thought of that approach. Will check it out. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiAngelo Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 My bad. I didn't catch the outside unit. Given the room size, and balancing this with cost (a window unit is only $200), what if you inset the wall between the doors, reducing just the toilet space to 3'4", leaving the bathroom 4' wide at the sink? I also reduced the doors to 2'6" wide and made the bathroom 7'8" deep. I am showing the inset wall as block, but it could easily be a 6" siding wall, accenting the block to either side and increase the toilet space to 3'6". This allows a passthrough that is a few inches wider than a 5,000 btu unit to maintain airflow on the outside. These small ac units are only 15"-16" deep.

ACADuser Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 Clever solution John. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 I'm going to push them in this direction. Doesn't look bad on the roof. IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
