3. Connect the ¾” tube from the accessory pack to the drain
reservoir. Cut hose to necessary length.
WARNING!
Be sure that the ¾” drain tube is not kinked or bent in a man-
ner to prevent free flowing drainage from the drain reservoir
to the drain pipe.
4. Insert the other end of the tube into a minimum 6” length of
1 ¼” minimum I.D. copper line. The balance of the drain
line should be 1” I.D. minimum with a minimum 1/8” per foot
slope. (See Figure 2)
WARNING!
If the drain line is exposed, it is recommended that it be in-
sulated for safety. Do not use PVC drain line unless “Drain
Tempering” is enabled (see page 16-17).
NOTE
Inlet water pressure must be in the range of 20-100 psig.
Consult the factory if you are outside this range. Softened wa-
ter may be used but requires that the low drain threshold be
adjusted (refer to Fig. 30 page 27). Drain water can be tem-
pered to lower its temperature (refer to page 16).
