Do not insert the drain pipe for the indoor unit to the drainage trench
where corrosive gases occur. Poisonous gases flow into the room,
so that may cause the poisoning.

• Do not create an upper-slope or rise for the drain piping, since drain
water can flow back to the indoor unit and leakage into the room will
occur when the system operation is stopped.
• Do not connect the drain pipe with sanitary or sewage piping or any
other drainage piping.
• When the common drain piping is connected with other indoor units,
the connected position of each indoor unit must be higher than the
common piping. The pipe size of the common drain pipe must be
large enough according to the unit size and number of units.
• After performing drain piping work and electrical wiring, check to
ensure that water flows smoothly as in the following procedure.
1 Connecting direction of drain pipe: the standard direction of
drain piping connection is right side as viewed from front.
However, it can be performed from the left side when it is
required due to building construction.
