Page: 32 / 52

Condensate drain pipes are connected using a fe‐
male thread 1” BSP connection -1- situated on the
bottom of the unit.
Install a drain trap on the exhaust outlet of the unit.
The drain trap should be fitted with an access hatch
-1- for easier draining and cleaning where required.
Apply a moderate amount of sealing paste to the
threads of the male part of the joint.
Lay the condensate drain pipe from the female con‐
nection on the bottom of the unit to a nearby drain.
N O T E
The condensate drain pipe should be at a minimum
gradient of 2% (2 cm of drop for each metre in length).
Protection against ice
In areas where the temperature can be 0ºC or less, there should be some kind of additional protection
to prevent the water contained in the condensate drain pipe from freezing.
An electric heater (wire heater) should be installed in the drain trap and in the condensate drain pipe.
For units with heat pumps, electric heaters must also be installed in the outdoor coil tray to prevent
possible ice accumulation.
