Condensate Discharge - Vertical Installation Note The 22 mm diameter condensate pipe is suitable for standard 22 mm plastic push-fit fittings and can be connected verti- cally underneath the unit or horizontally at the rear. To install the vertical discharge condensate: 1.
2. Remove the Black Cap from end of condensate stub at the front of the unit. 3. On the AVHR400 drill a diameter 32mm hole using the indent provided in the moulding as a guide. 4. The hole is a clearance hole for a diameter 22 mm pipe and so may vary a little from this guidance.
Note: AVHR400 units have spigots suitable for either diameter 150 mm ducting (UK model) or for diameter 180 mm ducting (rest of EU model). The diameter 180 mm spigots come complete with self adhesive foam adaptors to enable it to be used with either diameter 180 mm ducting or diameter 200 mm ducting.
Wall Mounting 1. Refit the front and rear covers if they have been removed. 2. Ensure five off wall bushes are fitted to the rear cover, three 3. along the top row of screws and two along the middle row. 4.
Attaching the ducting 1. Always use a short piece of flexible duct 100-150 mm long, extended to its full length when connecting to ductwork. 2. Securely connect this ducting to the spigots using worm- drive clips or cable ties. 3. Insulate any ducting passing through an unheated space to prevent any heat losses and surface condensation.
