14.3.1.1 MMDA
Make sure that drain piping is properly routed and insulated in order to prevent both leaks and condensation.
Drain should have a slope of at least ¼ inch per foot and should be approved corrosion-resistant pipe. You must confirm
operation of every drain and pump in the system as part of the commissioning procedure.
1. Use a field-provided hose clamp to secure the drain line stub on the side of the unit chassis to a field-supplied 1" (25
mm) drain line. See figure below.
NOTE:
Take care not to over-tighten the hose clamps this may damage the drain line stub.
2. Make a water-tight connection between the field-provided condensate drain line and the flexible condensate connector.
Use 1-1/2" OD / 1-1/4" ID PVC pipe for the drain line.
3. See figure for applications including an indoor unit using the internal drain pump.
4. In all cases, drain should be as short as possible and should not have any droops or kinks that would restrict condensate
flow and shall be constructed using an approved pipe. There must be a 2-inch (51 mm) space between the end of
the condensate drain and the final termination point (ground, open drain, etc.) to ensure that the line will drain
freely.
