Drain piping
CAUTION
Following the Installation Manual, perform the drain piping work so that water is properly drained.
Apply a heat insulation so as not to cause a dew condensation.
Inappropriate piping work may result in water leakage in the room and wet furniture.
y
Provide the indoor drain piping with proper heat insulation.
y
Provide the area where the pipe connects to the indoor unit with proper heat insulation. Improper heat insulation
will cause condensation to form.
y
The drain pipe must be sloping downward (at an angle of 1/100 or more), and do not run the pipe up and down
(arched shape) or allow it to form traps. Doing so may cause abnormal sounds.
y
Restrict the length of the traversing drain pipe to 20 meters or less. For a long pipe, provide support brackets at
intervals of 1.5 to 2 meters to prevent
fl
apping.
y
Install the collective piping as shown in the following
fi
gure.
y
Do not provide any air vents. Otherwise, the drain water will spout, causing water to leak.
y
Do not allow any force to be applied to the connection area with the drain pipe.
