Hurricane Air Brace™

Direct-Mount Hanging Bracket

The Hurricane Air Brace is a direct-mount hanging bracket to support condenser units, heat pumps, and other HVAC equipment, particularly useful in residential or multi-family dwelling applications where flooding, snowfall, mud, and steep grades are a concern.

Engineered and tested to withstand the toughest of hurricanes, the Hurricane Air Brace is certified for both lateral and uplift wind pressure. It meets Florida’s strict building codes, providing you with peace of mind whether you’re in a coastal area or simply preparing for severe weather.

Precision-made from laser-cut 16-gauge galvanized or 304 stainless steel, this heavy-duty bracket can be mounted on concrete block/brick, concrete, steel studs, wood studs, and hollow concrete block.  Its elevated design protects units from flooding, storm surges, and snow, while improving airflow for better performance and efficiency.
