Flexible drain hose Flexible drain hose
CAUTION: The supplied flexible
drain hose should not be curved,
neither screwed. The curved or screwed
hose may cause a leakage of water.
The air conditioner uses a drain pump to drain water.
Use the following procedure to test the drain pump operation:
• Connect the main drain pipe to the exterior and leave it
provisionally until the test comes to an end.
• Feed water to the flexible drain hose and check the piping for
leakage.
• Be sure to check the drain pump for normal operating and
noise when electrical wiring is complete.
• When the test is complete, connect the flexible drain hose to
the drain port on the indoor unit.
Heat insulation material: Polyethylene foam with thickness more than 8 mm.
Indoor Unit Drain Piping
• Drain piping must have down-slope (1/50 to 1/100): be
sure not to provide up-and-down slope to prevent
reversal flow.
• During drain piping connection, be careful not to exert
extra force on the drain port on the indoor unit.
• The outside diameter of the drain connection on the
indoor unit is 32mm.
• Be sure to execute heat insulation on the drain piping.

Piping material: Polyvinyl chloride pipe VP-25
and pipe fittings
