▪ Checking for water leaks
General guidelines
▪ Drain pump. For this "high lift type", the drainage sounds will be
reduced when the drain pump is installed in a higher location.
Recommended height is 300 mm.
▪ Pipe length. Keep drain piping as short as possible.
▪ Pipe size. Keep the pipe size equal to or greater than that of the
connecting pipe (vinyl pipe of 20 mm nominal diameter and
26 mm outer diameter).
▪ Slope. Make sure the drain piping slopes down (at least 1/100) to
prevent air from being trapped in the piping. Use hanging bars as
shown.

▪ Condensation. Take measures against condensation. Insulate
the complete drain piping in the building.
▪ Rising piping. If necessary to make the slope possible, you can
install rising piping.
▪ Drain hose inclination: 0~75 mm to avoid stress on the piping
and to avoid air bubbles.
▪ Rising piping: ≤300 mm from the unit, ≤625 mm perpendicular
to the unit.

▪ Combining drain pipes. You can combine drain pipes. Make
sure to use drain pipes and T-joints with the correct gauge for the
operating capacity of the units.

Incorrect connection of the drain hose might cause leaks,
and damage the installation space and surroundings.
1 Push the drain hose as far as possible over the drain pipe
connection.
2 Tighten the metal clamp until the screw head is less than 4 mm
from the metal clamp part.
3 Check for water leaks (see
4 Install the insulation piece (drain pipe).
5 Wind the large sealing pad (= insulation) around the metal
clamp and drain hose, and fix it with cable ties.

▪ Do NOT remove the drain pipe plug. Water might leak
out.
▪ Use the drain outlet only to discharge the water if the
drain pump is not used or before maintenance.
▪ Insert and remove the drain plug gently. Excessive
force may deform the drain socket of the drain pan.
Pull out the plug.
▪ Do NOT wiggle the plug up and down.
