- If the unit is frequently exposed to heavy rain or snow: Build a shelter above the unit it to protect it from the
rain or snow. Be careful not to obstruct air flow around the unit.
STEP 2: INSTALL DRAIN JOINT
Heat pump units require a drain joint. Before bolting the outdoor unit in place, you must install the drain joint
at the bottom of the unit. Note that there are two different types of drain joints depending on the type of
outdoor unit.
If the drain joint comes with a rubber seal (see Fig. A), do the
following:

Fit the rubber seal on the end of the drain joint that will
connect to the outdoor unit.

Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of the
unit.

Rotate the drain joint 90° until it clicks in place facing the
front of the unit.

Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to the
drain joint to redirect water from the unit during heating
mode.
If the drain joint doesn’t come with a rubber seal (see Fig. B ), do
the following:

Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of the
unit. The drain joint will click in place.

Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to the drain
joint to redirect water from the unit during heating mode.
IN COLD CLIMATES
In cold climates, make sure that the drain hose is as vertical as possible to ensure swift water drainage. If
water drains too slowly, it can freeze in the hose and flood the unit.
STEP 3: ANCHOR OUTDOOR UNIT
The outdoor unit can be anchored to the ground or to a wall-mounted bracket.
