3. Individual design of drainage pipe
system

The drainage pipe of air conditioner shall
be installed separately with other sewage
pipe, rainwater pipe and drainage pipe in
building.

The drainage pipe of the indoor unit with
water pump should be apart from the one
without water pump.
4. Supporter gap of drainage pipe

In general, the supporter gap of the
drainage pipe horizontal pipe and vertical
pipe is respectively 1m~1.5m (3.28~4.92ft)
and 1.5m~2.0m(4.95~6.56ft).

Each vertical pipe shall be equipped with
not less than two hangers.

Overlarge hanger gap for horizontal pipe
shall create bending, thus leading to air
block.

Keep a certain degree

The correct installation will not cause
converse water flow and the slope of the
branch pipes can be adjusted freely

The false installation will cause converse
water flow and the slope of the branch pipe
cannot be adjusted.
6. Water storage pipe setting

If the indoor unit has high extra static
pressure and without water pump to
elevate the condensate water, such as high
extra static pressure duct unit , the water
storage pipe should be set to avoid
converse flow or blow water phenomena.
Indoor unit
7. Lifting pipe setting of indoor unit with
water pump

The length of lifting pipe should not exceed
the pump head of indoor unit water pump.

The drainage pipe should be set down
inclined after the lifting pipe immediately to
avoid wrong operation of water level switch.

Refer the following picture for installation
