• • • • If a drain pipe needs to be installed, insert the accessory drain elbow into the mounting hole at the bottom of the outdoor unit,
and connect a hose with an inside diameter of 15mm to this drain elbow.
(The hose is not supplied.)
If using the drain elbow, install the outdoor unit on a base which is at least 5cm high.
NOTE In cold regions (where the outdoor air temperature can drop to 0°C or below continuously for 2-3 days), the drain water may freeze,
and this may prevent the fan from operating. Do not use the drain elbow in such cases.
10.5.6. Connecting the pipes
• • • • Use a clean pipe which does not include water or dust for inside of piping.
• • • • When cutting the refrigerant pipes, a piping cutter must be used. Before connecting the refrigerant pipes, blow nitrogen and
blow off dust in the pipes.
(Never use tools which cause a lot of dust such as a saw and a magnet.)
• • • • When waxing replace nitrogen inside the piping after removing dirt and dust. (In order to prevent oxidization scale from forming
inside the piping).
• • • • The refrigerant pipes are of particular importance.
The installation work for refrigerant cycles in separate-type air conditioners must be carried out perfectly.
