4.5 Connecting drain piping
CAUTION
Make sure to connect drain piping by the following
procedure to prevent freezing and dew condensation
forming on the surface of the piping
- Connect the drain piping on the indoor side of the insulation
layer
Insulate the drain piping up to the end of the piping
- Do not let the end of drain piping be immersed in the rain
gutter, etc.
(At times of heavy snow, the rain gutter freezes and
drain water is not discharged, which results in water
leaking from the Lossnay unit.).
This unit has two drain pipes for EA and SA.
EA means Exhaust Air side, SA means Supply Air side.
