We’re installing another head for the mini-split ac. Pioneer Inverter Ultra High Efficiency Heat Pump 3 head mini split.
Where this head is going: tongue-and-groove ceiling, metal roof of the original mobile home. Then you have the roof that covers the old mobile home and all the additions. Not something most will run into, but maybe it will help you out.

00:00 Intro
00:12 Bit of a unique situation
00:30 Cut out the tongue-and-groove ceiling to put in the cassette head
00:40 This is a three head mini split system, each head has been a unique install
01:10 Don’t know if they will run into rafters on top of the metal roof
01:25 Use a Sawzall to cut through the original metal roof
02:10 The old mobile home roof
02:50 The rafters lined up
03:05 Pulling the insulation out of the way
03:30 Your freon lines will cause problems with the hole
03:50 Have to cut out the area for the lines
04:10 They have set the hangers
04:25 That’s why we have turned these
04:50 Takes 2 people to set the head, have cut a 7/8″ piece to guide from the ceiling
05:00 It’s kind of awkward for one person to be holding it while the other screws it above
05:30 Setting the cassette head
06:35 Installing the cover, make sure to line up the wires
08:10 Will end up doing the wiring and we’ll show you when we do

In another situation that I probably won’t be in again, this is a mobile home with a low roof, low ceiling also with a different kind. They took it all, all the usually like a paper board of some kind. Usually on the ceiling they took that down they put this tongue and groove up. We’ve cut it out for a pioneer cassette type, which is the type of a head for a mini split.
There’s three of them on this, and every one of them, the three are different circumstances and this is yet another circumstance. So now this is the original ceiling taken off and put this kind of wood, tongue-and-groove and we’ve cut a 23 by 23 inch hole because we had the way of seeing where the rafters were from here to here.
Otherwise we’d have to climb up there and cut a great big hole. We still don’t know or above this metal roof. If we don’t run into the rafters that go over the top of this mobile home, which is like rafters that you would have in a house. So we don’t know yet. We’re going to find out. I’m going to use a Sawzall to cut through the metal.
And that way I can get all the metal out of the way. It’s quite a journey.
It’s taking metal into my eyes. Put your glasses on, sunglasses. That’s not a bad idea.
Mobile home roof, with the roof coating on it, we got insulation galore. Well, who’s hot up here? We were fortunate in that the rafters lined up with the rafters on the mobile home.
That’s just not going to happen often. So although I feel very fortunate, I’m not going to go buy a lottery ticket because I got enough gambles as it is going down the road.
So next we’ll be pulling all this insulation out of the way, trying to figure out what to do as far as supporting the head that goes up in here. And that’s where we’re at next. We’ll catch you up when we get over here doing all the ugly work.
Now. We found out before. I’m finding out again that the freon lines interfere or do just cut. Not in this case, 23 by 23 inch piece of hole. You still have this part here sticking out into the hole. So we have to put a hole a little bit further out like this and a quarter inch and a half out in that corner. So that’s what I marked.
Now what we’ve done is set these hangars that they give you in the kit. They’re meant to hang into. Wire up in the ceiling or otherwise. But in this case, we’re able to have a rafter here and a rafter here that we can run screws into. That’s why we turn these so we can run the screws inside of there.
And that’ll hold this up. Now it’s going to be done with a ratchet or two wrenches, ratchet and a wrench in this case, five eights, and… They’re both 5/8. 5/8 and 5/8. Then he’s going to go up there. That takes two people. And I have a piece already. Cut that 7/8 of an inch. That’s how far up this the bottom of this needs to be up from the finish ceiling.
Now, it’s kind of awkward for one person, but it can be done and we’re fixing to do it to be down here holding it. So he’s going to climb up there. I’m going to push it up to him. He’s going to fasten it to those rafters. And I’m going to have this to set the height at 7/8” up inside. So we’ll see in just a minute.
Oh, everything around here? Yeah. I Drew, pull it, I didn’t get to film very much had to help. Right. Where you want to fashion first? Let’s try. Closest to you? It’s trying to come down behind you. Okay. Right there on the other side. Same. Same side. Toward the bluff line. Yeah, right there. Okay.
The wires have to be lined up with this area right here. There’s more wires on this cover. So in that corner, they have to be right here. They go into a hole right there. So that tells us where this corner’s got to be. This is the plan. It helps to have another person.
Close. Don’t want to pull it down too tight. This corner over here needs it. Whaterver he did made it worse. That’s as tight as it goes. All right now we’re going to end up doing the wiring into here, the wire, the control wires and the powered wires in here. And then these wires will go inside here along with this one. We’ll show you when we do that.
These have little hooks and slots up in here. When you pull these little deals back there, you will get with you in the next stage.
