1 Push the drain hose as far as possible over the drain pipe
connection.
2 Tighten the metal clamp at the base of the drain socket. Wrap
the end of the metal clamp with vinyl tape or bend the end
inwards to avoid damaging the sealing pad.
3 Check for water leaks (see "To check for water leaks" [
4
16]).
4 Wind the large sealing pad (= insulation) around the metal
clamp and drain hose, and fix it with tie wraps. Start wrapping
from the tightened part of the metal clamp so that the end of the
metal clamp is wrapped twice.
5 Connect the drain piping to the drain hose.
To check for water leaks
Make sure the unit is level in accordance with the instructions in
"12.2.1 Guidelines when installing the indoor unit" [
4
13]. Gradually
pour approximately 1 l of water through the air discharge outlet, and
check for leaks.

13 Piping installation
13.1 Preparing refrigerant piping
13.1.1 Refrigerant piping requirements
CAUTION
Piping MUST be installed according to instructions given in
"13 Piping installation" [
4
16]. Only mechanical joints (e.g.
braze+flare connections) that are compliant with the latest
version of ISO14903 can be used.
NOTICE
The piping and other pressure-containing parts shall be
suitable for refrigerant. Use phosphoric acid deoxidised
seamless copper for refrigerant piping.
▪ Foreign materials inside pipes (including oils for fabrication) must
be ≤30 mg/10 m.
Refrigerant piping diameter
For piping connections of the indoor unit, use the following piping
diameters:
Class Pipe outer diameter (mm)
Liquid pipe Gas pipe
32 Ø6.4 Ø12.7
63+100 Ø9.5 Ø15.9
Refrigerant piping material
▪ Piping material: phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper
▪ Flare connections: Only use annealed material.
▪ Piping temper grade and thickness:

Depending on the applicable legislation and the maximum
working pressure of the unit (see "PS High" on the unit name
plate), larger piping thickness might be required.
13.1.2 Refrigerant piping insulation
▪ Use polyethylene foam as insulation material:
▪ with a heat transfer rate between 0.041 and 0.052 W/mK (0.035
and 0.045 kcal/mh°C)
▪ with a heat resistance of at least 120°C
