Air conditioning accessories are components required for the proper installation, maintenance, and operation of cooling systems.
These parts bridge the gap between the main AC unit and your building's structure.
These accessories ensure installations comply with AS/NZS 3000:2018, the Australian Wiring Rules, and the manufacturer's specifications.
Professional AC installations require specific accessories for safety, performance, and compliance.
| Accessory | Purpose | Common Sizes/Specs |
|---|---|---|
| Wall Brackets | Support outdoor condenser units | 120kg-150kg capacity, adjustable depth |
| Anti-Vibration Pads | Reduce noise and vibration transfer | Waffle pattern, rubber construction |
| Insulated Pair Coils | Refrigerant line connection | triple-layer insulation system |
| Drain Pipes | Remove condensate water | 20mm, 90° elbows, white PVC |
| Foil Tape | Seal refrigerant line insulation | 72mm x 50m, reinforced aluminium |
| Condensate Pumps | Lift condensate when gravity drainage is unavailable | 20L/hr capacity, 230V |
Calculate your accessory requirements before starting. Measure the wall bracket depth needed, the refrigerant line distance, and the drainage path. Order 10% extra consumables, such as foil tape and brazing rods, to avoid project delays.
Australian installations require specific accessories to handle different climates and building requirements.
Queensland's high humidity and temperatures demand quality accessories:
Air conditioning installation and refrigerant handling require an ARCtick licensed technician under Australian regulations. Electrical connections must be performed by licensed electricians in accordance with AS/NZS 3000:2018.
Most AC accessories are universal, but some components require brand-specific matching.
These accessories work across all AC brands and models:
Some components must match your AC manufacturer:
Insulated pair coils are technically universal but must match:
Verify accessory compatibility with your AC model's installation manual. Manufacturers specify exact requirements for brackets, pipe sizes, and electrical connections. Using incorrect accessories can void the warranty or cause system failure.

Insulated pair coils are pre-insulated copper refrigerant lines. The R-value indicates thermal insulation performance.
| R-Value | Insulation Thickness | Best Applications | Climate Suitability |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1.0 | Thinnest (approx 6-8mm) | Short indoor runs, climate-controlled areas | Temperate climates, indoor installations |
| R1.2 | Medium (approx 10-13mm) | Standard outdoor/indoor runs | Most Australian climates |
| R1.5 | Thickest (approx 15-19mm) | Long outdoor runs, humid environments | Queensland, tropical regions, coastal areas |
R-value measures thermal resistance. Higher R-values provide better insulation:
Use R1.0 when:
Use R1.2 when:
Use R1.5 when:
Queensland's humid climate makes R1.5 insulation essential:
For Hot Climate installations, always use R1.5-insulated pair coils for outdoor refrigerant line runs. The superior insulation prevents efficiency loss and condensation damage in our humid subtropical climate.
Proper outdoor unit mounting ensures safety, reduces noise, and maintains system performance.
Weight capacity: Check your AC unit's weight. Standard residential units range from 40 to 60kg. Select brackets rated at least double the unit weight for safety margin.
Wall construction: Brick and concrete walls support heavy-duty brackets. Timber or lightweight construction may require alternative mounting methods.
Clearances: Maintain a minimum clearance of 250mm around the condenser unit for airflow. Check manufacturer specifications.
Drainage: Mount units level or slightly backward-tilted for proper condensate drainage.
Noise control: Always use anti-vibration pads between the unit and the mounting surface. This prevents structure-borne noise transmission.
Air conditioners produce significant condensate water during operation. Brisbane's humidity increases condensate production.
Most installations use gravity drainage where possible:
When gravity drainage is unavailable, use condensate pumps:
The Sauermann SI30 Mini Pump offers:
High humidity increases condensate production:
Condensate discharge must comply with local council requirements. Discharge to stormwater, gardens, or approved drainage points only. Never discharge onto footpaths or neighbouring properties.
Professional refrigerant line installation requires proper copper working tools.
The Polybender 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 Internal Tube Bender creates smooth bends without kinking:
Silver brazing rods create permanent, leak-free refrigerant connections:
Only ARCtick licensed technicians can purchase, handle, and install refrigerant.
Copper brazing for AC systems requires specific trade qualifications and refrigerant handling certification.

Used many different poly benders and this one is of good quality and I find it easy to remove after bending copper pipe. For this product you can't go wrong, quality and a good price.
Excellent Service. Excellent Communications. Ordered online and went down to pick up next day when email received. Busy on pickup at Warehouse got got dealt with straight away superfast service. Thank You Team
Much cheaper solution compared to a concrete slab. Easy to use and no issues long term either.

Shop AC AccessoriesContact Our TeamAir Conditioning Accessories Australia | Online AC Supplies normally covers pair coils, drain pipes and fittings, duct covers, brackets, anti-vibration pads, condensate pumps, foil tape, cleaners and basic electrical hardware like isolator stands and cable management.
For a typical split system, you usually need an insulated pair coil, a mounting bracket or slab, a drainpipe and fittings, ducting/capping, weatherproof fixings, and an isolator location. Exact parts depend on the AC size and the installer’s method, so always follow the unit’s installation manual.
Common split system combinations are 1/4" + 3/8" for smaller units and 1/4" + 1/2" or 1/4" + 5/8" for larger systems.
Drain pipe is often 20 mm PVC with elbows, tees and joiners to suit.
Always match sizes to the AC manufacturer’s installation table, as lengths and diameters vary by capacity.
Any work on fixed wiring, isolators or supply circuits must be done by a licensed electrician, and all refrigerant work must be done by an ARCtick-licensed technician.
Homeowners and handypersons should only handle non-electrical, non-refrigerant tasks if the installer and manual say it is safe.
Your installer will normally need a pair of coils, a wall bracket or slab, a drain hose and fittings, ducting to hide pipes, fixings and an isolator position.
They may also add cleaners, insulation tape and anti-vibration pads. Ask the installer for a simple parts list before you order.
Check the outdoor unit weight and dimensions in the AC manual, then choose a bracket with a higher weight rating and enough depth for airflow.
Sparky Direct's brackets list a clear kg rating, so match that to your unit with a large safety margin.
Anti-vibration waffle pads under the feet, solid brackets or a stable slab, and correct drain routing all help reduce rattles.
Keeping the unit level and away from the bedroom walls also makes a big difference.
Most people use rigid duct covers and bends from Sparky Direct's large range to protect and hide the pair coil, drain and cables.
Choose a size that fits all services.
Yes, Sparky Direct ships Air Conditioning Accessories across Australia with fast delivery options, and you can order online 24/7 with upfront pricing.
Tradies and homeowners can buy direct.
A coil cleaner approved for your unit, a soft brush, a gentle outdoor cleaner and maybe spare filters are useful. Sparky Direct has loads of air conditioning accessories include coil cleaners and maintenance products, but always follow the AC manual so you do not damage fins or coatings
Ask which products they plan to use, where the outdoor unit and isolator will sit, how the pipes and ducts will look on the wall, and how they will manage drainage. Also, confirm they are licensed and that the work will meet current Australian standards and manufacturer warranty rules.
