Well I finished the job, here's a summary. First the 3 pole sw for the inside unit. After some thought, prior to installation, I was going to run #14 from the condensing unit to the indoor unit as was stated elsewhere here, but why I thought, there's no internal ocpd for the conductors feeding the indoor unit so I must run #12 right? So I look at the largest single gang cut in box and it's only rated for 8 #12's, I needed 9 so I had to cut in a two gang
Second, as you'll see in one of the pics, I could have used a fused disc or a hacr breaker, however, I didn't see such a rating on the CH breaker I was to install so I went with the fused disc. Lastly, the install came out quite nicely, but here's what happens when you lose your focus as you'll see in the pic below. I had purposely pulled into the disc extra wire for the indoor unit so I could pass them right through the disc and into the condensing unit. Well an hour later I go to finish off the disc and I look at my watch. Hmmm, I'm suppose to pick up my son from daycare. I was running a bit late and I instantly had the image my wife would be calling me at any moment saying I had to pick him up and what was taking so long, blah blah. At that point I cut the wires short and had to splice them, doh. Bonus pic of some screws (Three seen in the photo) my buddy had unintentionally and unknowingly screwed right into the back of the panel from the outside wall where he mounted a piece of wood. Question, could I have used #14 for the indoor unit?
