3.7 Drainage and drain pipe installation
Provision regarding installation place
Drain water sometimes turns to ice. Therefore, avoid draining in a transited area, since it may become slippery.
Install the unit making sure that the drain outlet part is lower (>25mm / <30mm) than the opposite side in order to avoid
incorrect drain discharge.

Drain pipe connection
•
It is mandatory to connect a siphon
as shown in the figure below. Pay special attention when connecting it to the
unit (proper installation work is needed in order to guarantee matching of connection pipes).
>75 mm
Slope >2%
Plug
•
Fasten the siphon to the drain hose with an adhesive and a field-supplied clamp.
• Prepare a draining pipe with an internal diameter higher than 30 mm for the draining line which shall be bent with a
down slope > 2 %.
• Check to ensure that the water drains smoothly by pouring some water into the drain pan.
• Check to ensure that the water does not remain in the drain pan.
• Check the drain connections periodically (once a year), to avoid occurrence of water leakage.

•
If the unit is installed in a cold area, the drain water may freeze. Install an electric heater (field-supplied) at the drain connection.
•
Do not install the unit using vibration-proof springs or mounting springs.
