Drain piping work
CAUTION
•
Following the Installation Manual, perform the
drain piping work so that water is properly
drained, and apply a heat insulation so as not to
cause a dew drop.
Inappropriate piping work may result in water
leakage in the room and wet of furniture.
Piping/Heat insulating material
Require the following materials for piping and heat
insulating at site.
Flexible hose
Use the attached flexible hose to adjust center
discrepancy of the hard vinyl chloride pipe or to adjust
the angle.
• Do not use the flexible hose as stretched, or do not
deform it more extent than that in the following figure.
• Fix the soft end of the flexible hose with the attached
hose band.
• Use the flexible hose on a horizontal level.
REQUIREMENT
• Perform heat insulation of the drain pipes of the indoor
unit.
• Perform heat insulation of the connecting part with the
indoor unit.
An incomplete heat insulation causes dew drop.
• Set the drain pipe with downward slope (1/100 or
more), and do not make swelling or trap on the piping.
It may cause an abnormal sound.
• For length of the traversing drain pipe, restrict to 65’7”
(20 m) or less.
In case of a long pipe, provide support brackets with
interval of 4’11” - 6’7” (1.5 - 2 m) in order to prevent
waving.
• Set the collective piping as shown in the below figure.
• Do not apply force to the connecting part of the drain
pipe.
• The hard vinyl-chloride pipe cannot be directly
connected to the drain pipe connecting port of the
indoor unit.
For connection with the drain pipe connecting port, fix
the attached flexible hose with the hose band,
otherwise a damage or water leak is caused on the
drain pipe connecting port.

Connecting drain pipe
• Connect a hard socket (locally procured) to the hard
socket of the attached supplied flexible hose.
• Connect a drain pipe (locally procured) to the
connected hard socket.
REQUIREMENT
• Connect hard vinyl chloride pipes securely using an
adhesive for vinyl chloride to avoid water leakage.
• It takes some time until the adhesive is dried and
hardened (refer to the manual of the adhesive). Do not
apply stress to the joint with the drain pipe during this
time period.
Drain up
When a down-gradient cannot be secured for the
drainpipe, drain-up piping is possible.
• The height of the drain pipe must be 33.5" (850 mm)
or less from the bottom of the ceiling.
• Take the drain pipe out of the drain pipe joint with the
indoor unit in 11.8" (300 mm) or less, and bend up
the pipe vertically.
• Immediately after the pipe is bent up vertically, lay
the pipe making a down-gradient.
• Set downward grading immediately after raising up
vertically.
Check the draining
In the test run, check that water drain is properly
performed and water does not leak from the connecting
part of the pipes.
Check draining also when the unit is installed in heating
period.
By using a pitcher or hose, pour water (0.4 - 0.5 gal
(1500 - 2000 cc)) into the discharge port before
installation of the ceiling panel.
Pour water gradually so that water does not spread on
the motor of the drain pump.
CAUTION
Pour water gently so that it does not spread around
inside the indoor unit, which may cause a malfunction.
Adhesive inhibited:
Use the attached flexible hose and hose band for
connecting the drain hose to the clear drain socket.
If applying the adhesive, socket will be damaged and
cause water leakage.
