6. DRAIN PIPING WORK
(1) Install the drain piping. (Refer to Fig. 16)
•
The drain pipe should be short with a downward slope and should prevent air pockets from forming.
•
Watch out for the points in the figure 16 when performing drain work.
•
When extending the drain hose, use a commercially available drain extension hose, and be sure to
insulate the extended section of the drain hose which is indoors.
(Refer to Fig. 17)
•
Make sure the diameter of the extension drain piping is the same as the indoor unit drain hose (hard vinyl
chloride, I.D. 9/16”) or bigger.
•
In case of converging multiple drain pipes, install them referring to Fig. 18.
•
Select diameter of drain piping which adapts to the capacity of the unit connected.
(2) Make sure the drain works properly.
•
After drain work is complete, perform a drain
check by opening the front panel,
removing
the air filter
, pouring water into the drain pan,
and making sure water flows smoothly out of
the drain hose.
(Refer to Fig. 19)
