Step 2: Install drain joint
Heat pump units require a drain joint. Before bolting the
outdoor unit in place, you must install the drain joint at the
bottom of the unit. Note that there are two different types of
drain joints depending on the type of outdoor unit.
The drain joint comes with a rubber seal, do the following:
1. Fit the rubber seal on the end of the drain joint that will
connect to the outdoor unit.
2. Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of
the unit.
3. Rotate the drain joint 90° until it clicks in place facing the
front of the unit.
4. Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to the drain
joint to redirect water from the unit during heating mode.
IN COLD CLIMATES
In cold climates, make sure that the drain hose is as
vertical as possible to ensure swift water drainage. If water
drains too slowly, it can freeze in the hose and flood
the unit.
