Installation Equipment & Accessories Available at BES
Our selection includes a variety of installation components designed to support secure mounting, tidy pipework routing, vibration control, and system testing during air-source heat pump installations.
Ducting
We stock external trunking and ducting components designed to help route pipework neatly between the outdoor unit and the building. Our range includes SpeediDuct trunking systems, along with connection pieces, wall covers, and internal or external bends to help installers in creating tidy pipe runs around walls and corners. Available in black and white finishes.
Unit Guards
Our unit guard range includes condensing unit guards in multiple sizes, as well as metal guards and wooden Easy-Fit enclosures, allowing installers to choose a protective solution that suits the installation environment while maintaining airflow around the heat pump.
Floor Mountings
Many air source heat pumps are installed at ground level using floor mounting systems that help provide a stable and level base for the outdoor unit. At BES, we stock Flexi Foot mounting systems and anti-vibration slab options, available in several lengths to suit different heat pump sizes. Popular options include the Flexi Foot Mounting, Black, 1000 mm and the AV Slab and Foot Mountings Kit.
Wall Brackets
For installations where ground mounting is impractical, heat pump wall brackets offer a secure alternative mounting solution. Our range includes wall brackets designed to support various weight capacities, including 60kg, 90kg, 140kg, 200kg and 250kg.
Diamond Core Bits
Installing pipework connections between the outdoor heat pump unit and indoor system often requires drilling through external walls. The Diamond Core Bit - 91mm and the Diamond Core Bit - 78mm are perfect for creating clean openings.
Fixing Packs
To complement mounting systems, we also supply fixing packs designed for use with Flexi Foot mounting systems. Select from Flexi Foot Fixing Pack - T Bolt, Pack of 4 and Flexi Foot Fixing Pack - Spring Nut, Pack of 4.
Grinder Heads
Our range also includes specialist grinder heads, designed for preparing pipe insulation and installation materials used during heat pump system setup. Popular options include the Primary Pro Grinder Head - 100mm diameter and the Condensate Pro Grinder Head - 76mm diameter.
Heat Pump Test Kits
Accurate testing and commissioning are crucial during heat pump installation. We stock heat pump diagnostic kits, including Testo heat pump testing equipment designed to support system setup, testing, and servicing (Testo 550i Heat Pump Kit and Testo 550s Heat Pump Kit).
Mounting Blocks
Anti-vibration mounting blocks, such as the Anti Vibration Mounting Block - 450mm, Pair and Anti Vibration Mounting Block - 1000mm, Pair, help reduce the transfer of vibration from the outdoor heat pump unit to surrounding surfaces.
HVACR Analysers
For advanced testing and diagnostics, BES also stocks the Kane 460 HVACR Analyser Kit, which helps support accurate system analysis during installation, servicing, and troubleshooting.
Soakaways
The DiversiTech Air Source Heat Pump Soak-Away available at BES offers a simple, reliable, and maintenance-free solution for draining condensate from domestic air source heat pumps where traditional drainage options are unavailable.

FAQs
What accessories are needed to install an air source heat pump?
A typical installation may require mounting brackets or floor supports, ducting or trunking for pipework, vibration reduction components, and appropriate fixings. Additional equipment such as diagnostic tools or analysers might also be used during commissioning and maintenance.
What type of bracket is used for an air source heat pump?
Heat pumps can be mounted using either wall brackets or ground mounting systems, depending on the installation location. Wall brackets must be suitable for the weight of the outdoor unit and securely fixed to an appropriate external wall.
Do air source heat pumps need protective guards?
In some installations, engineers opt to install protective guards or enclosures around outdoor units to help prevent accidental damage, especially in areas where the unit might be exposed to impacts or debris.
Why are anti-vibration mounts used with heat pumps?
Anti-vibration mounts help reduce vibration and noise transfer from the outdoor heat pump unit to surrounding surfaces. This can help improve installation stability and reduce operational noise.
How is condensate managed from an air source heat pump?
Air source heat pumps produce condensate during operation, which is typically drained away using pipework or soakaway systems positioned near the outdoor unit to safely disperse water.
