A sleeve is typically used to prevent condensate from ever collecting within the blockwork or studs even though thermal insulation is used.

Hence me saying I stuff it with plastic. Even if lines exposed they not in contact with air to accumulate moisture. Used plastic behind a unit on a wall to stop condensation.
The drain line have to burst / rip / tear for water to run into that concrete.

Most plastics embrittle because of hydrolization, ozone exposure or UV exposure. Even the thermal wrap degrades in time for similar reasons. Foams also degrade. Termites will also tunnel through plastic, foam and insulation.

Granted, what you're doing probably works great but it is not as long term a fix as sleeving.

How often you service? I take it you dont flush the drain line and fix any broken insulation when you do?
Average lifespan of an ac is approx 5 years. Plastic sure as hell outlasts that.
Pvc gets brittle and cracks as well, no?
Borken insulation in pvc pipe sleeve will expose it to air, no?
How will uv light affect it in a wall behind trunking btw?

Now seeing this.

Much thanks. I love the troubleshooting and fixing.

Curious as to why someone put in a hard start kit and not just change the capacitor. Hope it didn't do any damages yet. They had burnt out the connection to the compressor so it wasn't coming on.

Hearing it have no 24000btu so I hadda confirm. Will sort out your place nice.
When stock are in I will link powerseller status in here.

I have a tgm unit that Maraj would have sold in the day. The LCD display is going and the remote resets itself. Can I simply buy one off ebay?

If I can just get a remote then that's good rather than surface wires

Kinda odd how the remote resets itself.
Usually the receiver is in the display module.
Depending on the costs it may make more sense to wire in a universal board. Would be around $500.00 to $600.00

is it wet or dry?

I need to make a 4" hole above a cupboard to put an extractor fan, but I can't use water there as the cupboard is mounted and it's partly MDF/Melamine

I'm guessing the dry method is messy like using an angle grinder cutting disc on a concrete wall, or is it slow?

Can use a vacume under the bit and it will suck in all the dust.
This is wet or dry.

shopvac with a big nozzle or a traffic cone duct taped at the end will solve your dust problems.
