Why it matters
The NGB Outdoor Unit Cover, 9000-12000 BTU is an outdoor cover for a mini-split condenser, sized for 9000 to 12000 BTU units.
Use a full cover only when the system is off for the season. A heat pump that runs in winter must never be covered while it runs; a top-only shade or shield keeps snow and sun off without blocking airflow.
The listing gives dimensions of 32.3 inL x 13.7 inW x 24 inH, a shipping or unit weight of 1.4 pounds, mini split cover in the box and khaki 600d oxford cloth with mesh white construction.
