▪ Filter. Be sure to attach an air filter inside the air passage on the
intake side. Use an air filter with dust collecting efficiency ≥50%
(gravimetric method).
12.2.3 Guidelines when installing the drain
piping
Make sure condensation water can be evacuated properly. This
involves:
▪ General guidelines
▪ Connecting the drain piping to the indoor unit
▪ Checking for water leaks
General guidelines
▪ Pipe length. Keep drain piping as short as possible.
▪ Pipe size. Keep the pipe size equal to or greater than that of the
connecting pipe (vinyl pipe of 25 mm nominal diameter and
32 mm outer diameter).
▪ Slope. Make sure the drain piping slopes down (at least 1/100) to
prevent air from being trapped in the piping. Use hanging bars as
shown.

▪ Condensation. Take measures against condensation. Insulate
the complete drain piping in the building.
▪ Rising piping . If necessary to make the slope possible, you can
install rising piping.
▪ Drain hose inclination: 0~75 mm to avoid stress on the piping
and to avoid air bubbles.
▪ Rising piping: ≤300 mm from the unit, ≤625 mm perpendicular
to the unit.

▪ Combining drain pipes. You can combine drain pipes. Make
sure to use drain pipes and T-joints with the correct gauge for the
operating capacity of the units.

Drain piping connection
1 Push the drain hose as far as possible over the drain pipe
connection.
2 Tighten the metal clamp until the screw head is less than 4 mm
from the metal clamp part.
3 Check for water leaks (see "To check for water leaks" [
4
18]).
4 Wind the large sealing pad (= insulation) around the metal
clamp and drain hose, and fix it with tie wraps.
5 Connect the drain piping to the drain hose.
