Condensate Piping - ECR EMI America Series Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

The unit can now be piped up in accordance
with good refrigeration and/or plumbing
practices.
The Cassette is supplied with a 1/2" I.D.
flexible PVC hose for connection to copper
or plastic drain piping.
When installing the cassette, consider the
following:
1. Maximum pump lift is 36" (0.9m).
2. The highest point in the condensate
piping should be as close to the unit as
possible. This prevents a large volume of
water draining back into the unit when it
is switched off.
NOTICE
There is a check valve at the pump dis-
charge to prevent water from draining
back into the unit. This piping technique
will minimize any issues should the
check valve become stuck open from
airborne debris.
3. Condensate pipe-work should slope
downwards in the direction of water flow
with a minimum gradient of 1" per 10'
(8mm/1m). There must be no uphill
gradients other than in the first 36" (0.9m)
of pipe-work from the cassette.
4. When multiple cassettes are connected to
a common condensate drain, ensure the
drain is large enough to handle the total
volume of condensate.
NOTICE
A drain line vent may be required to pre-
vent siphoning of water from the drain
pan and associated noise.
