Description
The Goodman ABK-20 is a steel mounting bracket kit - four brackets per pack are designed to anchor Goodman outdoor condensing units securely when transporting to another location. If your condenser is sitting on a pad without proper anchor points, vibration works at the base over time and can shift the unit, stress refrigerant lines, and create noise complaints. The ABK-20 solves that with solid steel construction purpose-built for Goodman equipment, giving you a clean, code-friendly anchor without improvising with generic hardware.
Key Features
- Four-bracket pack: One purchase covers all four corners of a standard Goodman condenser, so you have everything you need to anchor the unit completely without a second order.
- Steel construction: Steel holds up to outdoor exposure and the constant low-frequency vibration a running compressor puts through the base frame — no flex, no fatigue over time.
- Goodman-compatible fit: Designed specifically for Goodman condensing units, so the bolt pattern and bracket geometry line up with the base rail without drilling new holes or forcing a fit.
- Residential and light commercial rated: Suitable for single-family homes, duplexes, small retail and office installations — anywhere Goodman equipment lands on a pad that needs to stay put.
- Simple, repeatable installation: Four identical brackets mean no left-right confusion on the job — every corner goes on the same way, which speeds up the anchor step on a new install or a replacement set.
Is this the right unit for your project?
The ABK-20 fits Goodman condensing units installed on a concrete equipment pad or other hard, flat mounting surface in residential or light commercial settings. If you're anchoring a Goodman unit — mini-split condenser, central air condenser, or heat pump outdoor section — check your unit's base rail dimensions against Goodman's bracket spec to confirm fit before ordering. One four-pack covers a single outdoor unit. If you're running multiple condensers on the same pad or equipment rack, order one pack per unit.
Where it fits best
- New Goodman condenser installation on a poured concrete pad
- Replacement anchor hardware when existing brackets are corroded or damaged
- Residential split-system or heat pump outdoor unit tie-down
- Light commercial rooftop or ground-level condenser anchoring
- Code-compliance anchoring in jurisdictions that require condenser tie-down
Installation & what else you’ll need
To complete the anchor job, you'll need the concrete pad or mounting surface already in place and cured, appropriately sized anchor bolts or concrete screws rated for outdoor use, and a drill or impact driver. Make sure the pad is level before anchoring — brackets hold the unit to the surface but won't correct a pad that's out of level. If you're replacing worn or rusted brackets on an existing install, have the condenser temporarily supported or braced while you swap them out one corner at a time. No special tools beyond standard hand tools are required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Goodman ABK-20 bracket kit used for?
The Goodman ABK-20 is a mounting bracket kit used to anchor Goodman outdoor condensing units to a concrete pad or similar mounting surface. Each pack includes four steel brackets — one for each corner of the condenser base — to prevent movement, vibration shift, and stress on refrigerant line connections over the life of the equipment.
How many brackets come in the ABK-20 pack?
The ABK-20 includes four brackets per pack. That's enough to anchor all four corners of one Goodman outdoor condensing unit. If you're securing more than one condenser, order one ABK-20 pack per unit.
Does the ABK-20 work with all Goodman condenser models?
The ABK-20 is designed for Goodman-brand condensing units used for transporting. Verify that your specific Goodman condenser's base rail dimensions match the bracket before installing. The bracket geometry is built to Goodman's spec, so it should align without modification on compatible units.
What material are the Goodman condenser anchor brackets made of?
The ABK-20 brackets are made of steel. Steel handles the continuous low-frequency vibration from a running compressor and holds up outdoors through temperature swings and weather exposure without the flex or fatigue you'd get from a lighter material.
What anchor bolts do I need with the ABK-20 mounting brackets?
The ABK-20 kit supplies the brackets but not the anchor bolts. You'll need concrete anchor screws or expansion bolts rated for outdoor use, sized to fit the bracket hole pattern and appropriate for your pad material. Check the bracket's hole diameter before purchasing fasteners to ensure a proper fit.
Can the ABK-20 be used for light commercial condenser installations?
Yes. The Goodman ABK-20 is rated for both residential and light commercial applications. It's a common choice for small offices, retail spaces, and multi-unit residential buildings where Goodman condensing equipment is mounted for transport.
