8.4 Indoor Unit Drain Piping
Important
• The drain pipe should be at least equal in size to drain conduit of the indoor unit.
• The drain pipe is thermally insulated to prevent the formation of condensation inside the pipe.
• The drain up mechanism should be fitted before the indoor unit is installed and when the electricity has been
connected a little of water should be added to the drain pan and the drain pump to check and see if it is
functioning correctly.
• All connections should be secure. (Special care is needed with PVC pipe)
8.4.1 Drain piping of indoor unit with drain pump
• Drain piping must have down-slope (1/50 to 1/100). Be sure not to provide up-and-down slope to prevent
reversal flow.
• During drain piping connection, be careful not to exert force on the drain port on the indoor unit.
• The outside diameter of the drain connection on the indoor unit is 32 mm (1-1/4 inch).
– Piping material: Use the Polyvinyl chloride pipe, 25 mm (1 inch) pipe fittings.
