Drain piping

1) Connect the drain hose, as described on the right.
• Avoid placing the end of the drain hose in a drainage location that could
cause bad odors or corrosive gas to flow backward into the outlet.
• The drainage water may change color due to bacteria or other organisms.
Place in a location where the flow of drainage water will not cause a problem.
• Minimize the number of bends in the drain hose as much as possible.
If bending the drain hose, bend it gently.
2) Remove the air filters and transfer some water to the indoor heat
exchanger by pouring water into the drain pan.
3) Make sure that water flows out of the drain hose.
4) If drain hose extension or embedded drain piping is required, use
appropriate parts that match the hose front end.

• When drain hose requires extension, obtain an extension hose
with an inner diameter of 5/8 inch (16mm).
Be sure to thermally insulate the indoor section of the
extension hose.
• When connecting a rigid polyvinyl chloride pipe
(nominal diameter 1/2 inch (13mm)) directly to the
drain hose attached to the indoor unit as with
embedded piping work, use any commercially
available drain socket (nominal diameter 1/2 inch
(13mm)) as a joint.
