(Accessories)
Hose clip
(Accessories)
(1) Prepare standard hard PVC pipe (O.D. 32 mm) for the drain
and use the supplied hose band to prevent water leaks.
The PVC pipe must be purchased separately.
CAUTION
Fig.3-11

Do not install the pipe with an upward gradient from the
connection port. This will cause the drain water to fl ow
backward and leak when the unit is not operating.
(Fig. 3-12)

Do not use adhesive tape at the drain connection port on
the indoor unit

Insert the drain pipe until it contacts the socket, and then
secure it tightly with the hose band.
Prohibited
Upward gradient

Do not use the supplied drain hose bent at a 90° angle.
(The maximum permissible bend is 45°.)

Tighten the hose clamps so their locking nuts face
upward. (Fig. 3-8)


Do not apply force to the piping on the unit side when
connecting the drain pipe. The pipe should not be allowed to
hang unsupported from its connection to the unit. Fasten the
pipe to a wall, frame, or other support as close to the unit as
possible. (Fig. 3-13)
