DESCRIPTION Slim Profile Ceiling Cassette ACiQ Mini Split Air Handler - 6,000/9,000 BTU The Slim Profile Ceiling Cassette ACiQ Mini Split Air Handler offers the benefits of a traditional cassette in a slimmer design, specifically created to fit between 16" on-center joists. This means easier installation in many cases, eliminating the need for extensive modifications.
Unlike traditional ceiling cassettes that distribute conditioned air in four directions, the Slim Ceiling Cassettes feature one-way air delivery. They draw return air along one edge and deliver conditioned air out the other. Despite the slim profile, these air handlers provide the same high-efficiency heating and cooling performance as regular wall-mounted units. The package includes a convenient handheld remote control, and once installed in the ceiling, only the grille is visible, ensuring a subtle and discreet appearance.
Switchable Sizing The ACiQ-SCC0609 model comes with a default capacity of 9,000 BTU, but it can be easily switched to 6,000 BTU by adjusting the dip switch.
Installation Considerations Slim Profile Ceiling Cassettes require a flush-mounted installation, necessitating the removal of sufficient ceiling material to create a cavity for the unit. Designed to fit between 16" on-center joists, these cassettes typically require no modifications to the existing framing. Additionally, they come equipped with factory-installed onboard condensate pumps capable of lifting condensation up to 14 inches. A PVC drain system must be constructed to route the condensation to a suitable wastewater location. Refrigerant and wiring connections are the same as those for wall-mounted units.
