connective piping that will join the indoor and outdoor
units. Refer to the
Refrigerant Piping Connection
section of this manual for detailed instructions.
5. Based on the position of the wall hole relative to the
mounting plate, determine the necessary angle of
your piping.
6. Grip the refrigerant piping at the base of the bend.
7. Slowly, with even pressure, bend the piping towards the
hole.

dent or damage the piping during the process.
Step 5: Connect drain hose
By default, the drain hose is attached to the left hand side of
unit (when you’re facing the back of the unit). However, it can
also be attached to the right-hand side.
1. To ensure proper drainage, attach the drain hose on the
same side that your refrigerant piping exits the unit.
2. Attach drain hose extension (purchased separately) to the
end of drain hose.
3. Ensure connection is leak tight.
4. For the portion of the drain hose that will remain indoors,
wrap it with foam pipe insulation to prevent condensation.
5. Remove the air filter and pour a small amount of water into
the drain pan to make sure that water flows from the unit
smoothly.
