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.
Provide the indoor drain piping with proper heat insulation.
Provide the area where the pipe connects to the indoor unit with proper heat insulation. Improper heat insulation
will cause condensation to form.
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.
Restrict the length of the traversing drain pipe to 65.6' (20 m) or less. For a long pipe, provide support brackets
at intervals of 4'11" to 6'7" (1.5 to 2 m) to prevent flapping.
Install the collective piping as shown in the following figure.
Do not provide any air vents. Otherwise, the drain water will spout, causing water to leak.
Do not allow any force to be applied to the connection area with the drain pipe.

Pipe material, size and insulator
The following materials for piping work and insulating process are locally procured.
Pipe material
Hard vinyl chloride pipe VP25 (Nominal outer diameter 1.3" (32 mm))
Insulator
Foamed polyethylene foam, thickness: 0.4" (10 mm) or more
Connecting drain pipe
Insert flexible drain hose into upper drain pipe of main unit as far as it will go. Fix it with hose band.
REQUIREMENT
Mount the flexible drain hose using the hose band without using adhesive.

Gravitational drainage
1
Reattach the drain cap.
* For gravitational drainage, remove the white connector
(CN504) on the upper left of the circuit board in the
electrical control box.
2
Insert flexible drain hose into lower drain pipe and
fix it with hose band.
3
Remove drain pump connector CN504.
Drain up
When a down-gradient cannot be secured for the drain pipe, drain-up
piping is possible.
The height of the drain pipe must be 33.5" (850 mm) or less from the
underside of the indoor unit.
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.
Upper pipe
Lower pipe
Move the drain cap from
the lower pipe to the
upper pipe.
