Drainpipe Installation
The drainpipe is used to drain water away
from the unit. Improper installation may
cause unit and property damage.
CAUTION
• Insulate all piping to prevent
condensation, which could lead to
water damage.
• If the drainpipe is bent or installed
incorrectly, water may leak and cause
property damage.
• In HEAT mode, the outdoor unit will
discharge water. Ensure that the drain
hose is placed in an appropriate area
to avoid water damage and slippage.
• Do not pull the drainpipe forcefully.
This could disconnect it.
NOTE ON PURCHASING PIPES
Installation requires pvc pipe or other
suitable material per local and national
codes, which can be obtained at your
local hardware store or dealer.
14. Reinstal the filter and filter cover plate.
15. Connect the pipes.
16. Install the drainage pipes.
WARNING
After removal of drain pan plug(s),
check drain hole(s) to verify that
drain opening is fully open and free
of any debris. Also check to make
sure that no debris has fallen into
the drain pan during installation that
may plug up the drain opening.
Seal around the exiting drain pipe,
liquid and suction lines to prevent
infiltration of humid air.
On units of this type, where the
blower "draws" rather than "blows"
air through the coil, traps must be
installed in the condensate drain
lines (primary and auxiliary, if used).
Traps prevent the blower from
drawing air through the drain lines
into the air supply.
