1. A system for covering a plurality of line sets having a plurality of respective sizes, said system comprising:
at least one duct comprising a first portion defining a plurality of receiving members formed along a sidewall of the first portion and a second portion including an engaging member extending from a sidewall of the second portion, said engaging member being configured to selectively engage one receiving member of the plurality of receiving members to secure the first and second portions together with an opening of an adjustable size therebetween, wherein the receiving member selectively engaged by the engaging member is selected such the adjustable size of the opening corresponds to the respective size of one of the plurality of line sets to be covered by the system, and wherein the plurality of receiving members are spaced apart along the sidewall such that a range of sizes of the opening upon engagement of the engaging member with the plurality of receiving members is sufficient to accommodate a range of the respective sizes of the line sets for the air conditioning systems; and a connector configured to attach to an end of the duct, the connector having a first connector portion with an exterior surface defining a hole, a second connector portion including a housing defining a hole, and a fastener configured to pass through the hole in the exterior surface and the hole in the housing to secure the first and second connector portions together with an opening of an adjustable size therebetween corresponding to a respective size the at least one duct.
