I'm finishing up installing a 24k BTU Amcor mini-split AC system. It's installed, just gotta get someone to pull a vacuum before I fire it up.

Does anyone have any suggestions for hiding the external hoses/power cables? There's a bundle about 3" wide running down the outside of my wall right now.

Those covers look great, dlc, but it doesn't say how or where to buy them :( I think my hoses are bigger than a downspout, and besides, they're already ran and attached. I couldn't thread them through a spout.

The spout gave me an idea though, I may try a bit of gutter material.

I can't tell for sure, but the line set covers I used look pretty much exactly like those in that link. I bought mine http://www.minisplitsystems.com/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=DHS1010

Even though it says they are backordered, mine came in a few days.

Anyway I think they are pretty nice, and I would get them again. The various parts are really made up of two pieces. There is a back piece that you screw to the wall, and a front cap that snaps/screws to the back so you don't have to feed the lineset through. I've gotten quite a bit of compliments on them, especially the guys who came to evacuate the lines.

Here are a few pics of mine in action:

My similar unit install would have been easier like that, but seeing yours I'm glad I ran the linesets inside the wall.

I guess it would look nicer if I had run them in the wall, but the garage is all finished inside. I was somewhat concerned with the potential for sweating and moisture inside the wall. I don't think it looks that bad, but meh, to each his own.
