5.1. Drainage piping work (Fig. 5-1)
• Drain pipes should have an inclination of 1/100 or more.
• For extension of the drain pipe, use a soft hose (inner dia. 15 mm, 19/32 inch)
available on the market or hard vinyl chloride pipe (VP-16 mm, 5/8 inch/O.D. ø22
mm, ø55/64 inch PVC TUBE). Make sure that there is no water leakage from the
connections.
• Do not put the drain piping directly in a drainage ditch where sulphuric gas may
be generated.
• When piping has been completed, check that water flows from the end of the
drain pipe.
Caution:
The drain pipe should be installed according to this Installation Manual to
ensure correct drainage. Thermal insulation of the drain pipes is necessary
to prevent condensation. If the drain pipes are not properly installed and
insulated, condensation may drip on the ceiling, floor or other possessions.
