Indoor Unit Drain Piping - LG LM-4462C2T Service Manual

CAUTION
Install certainly the cassette trim.
Cool air leakage causes sweating.
Good example
Fit the insulator (this part) and
be careful for cool air leakage

8. Indoor Unit Drain Piping

• Drain piping must have down-slope (1/50 to 1/100):
be sure not to provide up-and-down slope to prevent
reversal flow.
• During drain piping connection, be careful not to
exert extra force on the drain port on the indoor unit.
• The outside diameter of the drain connection on the
indoor unit is 32mm.
Piping material: Polyvinyl chloride pipe VP-25
and pipe fittings
• Be sure to install heat insulation on the drain piping.
Heat insulation material: Polyethylene foam with
thickness more than 8 mm.
