split bashing
A trade term. Describing the rapid installing of a basic air conditioning system. Usually comprising of one indoor and one outdoor unit, with interconnecting pipes and wiring.
It is a relatively uncomplicated refrigeration task, made easier by the lack of risk presented with perishable goods. Subsequently, it is the lucrative sole focus of some refrigeration businesses. Requiring minimum certification, and for engineers (“split bashers”) to have only a basic understanding of pipework and wiring.
As systems are readily available to the public, installation may also be attempted by other trades where they’ve gained a degree of confidence and understanding in it.
A proper “split bash” should be completed within one day and may be conducted with a laid back and optimistic attitude, utilising only the minimum tools, equipment and effort necessary to get it to work. Some Installs may often look untidy or half finished and lack proper pipe and cable management systems.

Sam: “What’s on tomorrow Dave?”
Dave: “if there’s no breakdowns, You and Charlie might as well bash that split in over at Yarmouth”
Steve: “Truth is Luke, split bashing doesn’t require any knowledge about the vapour compression cycle. So just about anyone with an F-gas certificate, a vac pump and a pulse can do it”
