Installing a line set cover is the icing on the cake for your mini-split system. If you want your setup to look the most professional and clean with added performance benefits, a line set cover is a must-have accessory for every new and existing mini-split system.
The Line-Hide system from Mitsubishi protects your line sets from exposure to the elements, including UV rays which can break down insulation over time. They are also designed to protect drain lines and wiring.
As an added benefit, the Line-Hide system is paintable so you can match the color of your siding, preserving the décor of your home.
Common Questions
What is Line-Hide?
Line-Hide is a product from Mitsubishi Electric that is designed to conceal and protect your copper line set and control wiring required for a mini split system.
Can UV rays really damage my line set?
The insulation used in line sets does break down over time. Direct exposure to sunlight and the elements hastens this breakdown.
How does Line-Hide help?
Line-Hide helps protect line sets because it forms a barrier around the line set and control wiring that prevents direct exposure to sunlight and elements. Line-Hide is made of high-quality PVC with UV inhibitors for outdoor service in all weather conditions.
Can I paint Line-Hide?
Yes! Line-Hide can be painted with most house paints to match exterior décor.
How do you install Line-Hide?
Installation is a breeze with the modular design and snap-on components. Where screws are required, they are included with the products.
Can I use Line-Hide indoors?
Yes! Line-hide meets UL94v-0 for interior applications. Use it anywhere you want to conceal cabling, piping, or wiring.
