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 odours 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.
• 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.
