Condensate Drain Piping

- The drain hose should run
straight down the wall to a
level where the runoff will not
stain the wall.
- There should be no traps.
Avoid putting the end of the
hose in water.
- To conveniently drain the
system, the drain hose must
slant downward, with a slope
of at least 1 : 50 to prevent
leakage. Figure 23 shows the
unit in the floor mounted
position.

- When the drain hose is placed
in the room, insulate the hose
with foam polyethylene to
avoid damage to the ceiling or
furniture.
- After completing installation of
refrigerant lines, wiring and
drain connections, bind the
tubing, wiring and drain hose
(check if local codes permit
binding) into a bundle by using
tape at 100 or 200 mm (4" to
8") intervals. Make sure the
drain hose is at the bottom of
the bundle (Figure 24).
