When installing the pipes, leave enough space for maintenance work in the electrical box of the unit.
Drain pipe installation
For condense draining, prepare a polyvinyl chloride pipe with a
Ø25mm (outer diameter).
Fasten the field supplied pipe to the drain hose with adhesive.
The drain piping should be performed with a down-slope pitch
of 1/25 to 1/100.
Connect a syphon, as shown at the figure below.

• Keep Electrical Box and Drain Pipe connection free of refrigerant
pipes.
• If the relative humidity of the inlet air or the ambient air exceeds
80% in the place where the unit is installed, fit an auxiliary drain
pan (field-supplied) below the indoor unit, as indicated in the figure.

If there is excessive clearance between the drain pipe connection and the drain hose, add a sealing material between both parts in order
to fit and not deform the drain hose.
