4.6 Connecting the Utilities
The following procedure describes how to connect the external utilities to the
DryGair dehumidification unit.
4.6.1 Connecting the Water Drain-Pipe
During unit operation, water is condensed and needs to be removed from the
unit. In some environments, depending on the air temperature and humidity,
this may be a large quantity of water.
Note
To prevent water accumulation, the water drain-pipe should be connected
by a plumber to a drainage line leading outside the greenhouse or to any
other place the water should be collected (such as a container).
Make sure the unit is leveled.
Remove the rear cover from the unit.
2. Connect the prepared drain-pipe with a siphon to the threaded 1½" BSP
bushing drain outlet.

3. Route the drainage tube through one of the three exits from the unit:
Unit floor, Rear Cover or Side cover. There are pre-made circular cut-outs
on the unit’s side and rear covers, which can be easily punched out using
a screwdriver and hammer, for threading the drainage pipe.
4. Reconnect the unit rear cover and secure it.
5. Route the drainage to the water collection location.
The water can be used for other purposes, such as hydroponic systems.
After the unit is installed, call your electrician and the local DryGair
technician to complete unit installation and to perform first unit activation.
If the unit is to be connected to a climate control system, have your IT expert
on-site for the first power-up. See details in D.2.3
