4.2.3 Drainage Pipe Installation
4.2.3.1 Notice for Installation of Drain Pipe
1) It is not allowed to connect the condensate drain pipe into waste pipe or other pipelines
which are likely to produce corrosive or peculiar smell to prevent the smell from entering
indoors or corrupt the unit.
2) It is not allowed to connect the condensate drain pipe into rain pipe to prevent rain water
from pouring in and cause property loss or personal injury.
3) Condensate drain pipe should be connected into special drain system for air conditioner.
4) The drainage pipe should be short and the gradient downwards should be at least
1%~2% in order to drain condensation water smoothly.
5) The diameter of drainage hose should be bigger or equal to the diameter of drainage pipe
joint.
6) Install drainage pipe according to the following figure and arrange insulation to the
drainage pipe. Improper installation may lead to water leakage and damp the furniture
and other things in the room.
7) You can buy normal hard PVC pipe used as the drainage pipe. During connection, insert
the end of PVC pipe into the drainage hole and then tighten it with drainage hole and
wire binder. Can’t connect the drainage hole and drainage hole with glue.
8) When the drainage pipelines are used for several units, the position of pipeline should be
about 100mm lower than the drainage port of each unit. In this case, thicker pipes should
be applied.
