DiversiTech SpeediChannel™ System
DiversiTech SpeediChannel™ is an innovative channel system used to
cover air conditioning line sets. The two part system has a base and a
cover. The base is fastened to a wall or ceiling, then a clever little plastic
clip (SpeediClip™) snaps into a channel already molded into the base.
SpeediClip™ is the fastest, most convenient way to complete a line set
cover installation. Then, using standard cable ties, the line set, cables, control wires, and/or condensate drain line are fastened in place. The cover
then simply snaps on top of the base.
The SpeediChannel™ system is available in three widths – 3”, 4”, and 6”.
Each piece of SpeediChannel™ is 6-1/2 feet long. A complete line of couplings, elbows, and tees are available for the SpeediChannel™ system.
Manufactured from rigid PVC, the SpeediChannel™ system is a natural
color that is a very close match to the typical mini split condensing unit
case. However, the SpeediChannel™ system can be painted as desired
to match any wall color. The PVC used in the SpeediChannel™ system is
resistant to UV light, and is UL rated.
DiversiTech recommends attaching the
base to the wall or ceiling and the line
sets to the system every 15” to allow for
the system to carry the full weight of the
line sets.
The SpeediChannel™ system can also
be used inside.

Large size
• SpeediClip™ simply slides into place on a railing molded
into the inside of the SpeediChannel™ allowing for
single person installation. Competitive products must be
screwed in place
• The SpeediChannel™ can be easily customized to any
wall construction.
• The original natural color blends well with almost any wall
construction aesthetic.
• DiversiTech’s large SpeediChannel™ size is a full 6” channel — unlike competitors’ products which are only 5-1/2”.
which is extremely time consuming.
Features and Bene ts
Single piece wall sleeve
20mm drain line with
double connections
True Y connection
English packaging
• Competitive products are multi-part which is cumbersome.
• Versatile — fits 16, 18, or 20mm drain line.
• Drainline Y is inline. It does not branch.
• Competitive products have Japanese on the boxes, potentially leading to product selection errors.

• The flat bottom channel sits on surfaces easier and fits into
corners better. It can be silicone sealed against the wall.
• Stainless steel screws will not rust.
• Competitive products have a larger escutcheon that is not
aesthetically pleasing and wastes space.
• Competitive products require a joiner piece to couple
the flex joint to their systems. The DiversiTech flex joint
slides right into the end of the SpeediChannel™ with no
additional joiner piece.
• DiversiTech’s long radius 90º bend allows for a larger
bending radius for the line set, making installation easier.
