NOTE ON DRAINPIPE INSTALLATION
s When using an extended drainpipe, tighten the
indoor connection with an additional protection
tube to prevent it from pulling loose.
s The drainpipe should slope downward at a gradient
of at least 1/100 to prevent water from flowing
back into the air conditioner.
s To prevent the pipe from sagging, space hanging
wires every 1-1.5m (40-59”).
s If the outlet of the drainpipe is higher than the
body’s pump joint, provide a lift pipe for the
exhaust outlet of the indoor unit. The lift pipe must
be installed no higher than 75cm (29.5”) from the
ceiling board and the distance between the unit
and the lift pipe must be less than 30cm (11.8”).
Incorrect installation could cause water to flow
back into the unit and flood.
s To prevent air bubbles, keep the drain hose level or
slightly tiled up (<75mm / 3”).

NOTE: When connecting multiple drainpipes, install the
pipes as shown in Fig 6.4.

The drainpipe is used to drain water from the unit.
Improper installation may cause unit and property damage.
CAUTION
s Insulate all piping to prevent condensation, which
could lead to water damage.
s If the drainpipe is bent or installed incorrectly, water
may leak and cause a malfunction of the water-
level switch.
s In HEAT mode, the outdoor unit will discharge
water. Ensure that the drain hose is placed in
an appropriate area to avoid water damage and
slippage due to frozen drain water.
s DO NOT pull the drainpipe forcefully as this could
cause it to disconnect.
NOTE ON PURC HASING PIPES
This installation requires a polyethylene tube (outside
diameter = 3.7-3.9cm, inside diameter = 3.2cm), which
can be obtained at your local hardware store or from
your dealer.
Indoor Drainpipe Installation
Install the drainpipe as shown in Figure 6.2.
1. Cover the drainpipe with heat insulation to prevent
condensation and leakage.
2. Attach the mouth of the drain hose to the unit’s outlet
pipe. Sheath the mouth of the hose and clip it firmly
with a pipe clasp. (Fig 6.1)
