  • Patent number: 11946573
    Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a conduit assembly with a first conduit segment, a second conduit segment, and a rotational fitting fluidly coupling the first conduit segment and the second conduit segment to one another. The conduit assembly is configured to fluidly couple to a port of a heat exchanger of the HVAC system, and the rotational fitting is configured to enable the first conduit segment and the second conduit segment to rotate relative to one another between a first orientation and a second orientation and maintain a connection between the first conduit segment and the second conduit segment during relative rotation between the first conduit segment and the second conduit segment.

  • Patent number: 11047593
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a housing system for a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit includes a rigid shell. The rigid shell includes a top panel, a front panel, and a rear panel. The HVAC unit also includes a bottom panel configured to be disposed within a first portion of a bottom plane of the HVAC unit, a first side panel, and a second side panel. The first side panel and the second side panel are each configured to be disposed within respective side planes of the HVAC unit and are each configured to be disposed within respective second portions of the bottom plane. The housing system is configured to be internally accessed through the respective side planes. Internal access of the housing system through either of the respective side planes is provided at least partially by rotation of the first side panel and/or the second side panel.
