Our scoreNot reviewed yetSCORE7.3 / 10
Our takeOur default bracket for a 9,000-12,000 BTU unit on brick or concrete, with a level cross bar, anti-vibration pads and anchors. By the manuals' four-times rule, its 352 lb rating covers outdoor units up to 88 lb.Our default for a furnace, air handler or dehumidifier lifting water up to about 10 ft, with the overflow switch the bare UL lacks. Plan on motor noise and a check valve that needs cleaning.

Watch out forThe unit manuals want a solid brick or concrete wall rated for four times the unit's weight; the listing's 'any wall surface' claim doesn't change that.The 15 in the name is shut-off head, not working lift; the manual's 75% rule puts planning lift near 11 ft. Remove the cardboard insert or the pump will overflow. Warranty is 12 months from purchase.
