Drainage check section on drain port (transparent) Drain hose (supplied) Hard PVC socket VP-25 (not supplied) Hard PVC pipe VP-25 (not supplied) Bead Packing (supplied) PVC adhesive Fig. 1-39 (2) After connecting the drain pipe securely, wrap the supplied packing and drain pipe insulator around the pipe, then secure it with the vinyl clamps. (Fig. 1-40) 1 Drain insulator (supplied) 1. Specifications Do not install the pipe with an upward slant from the connection port. This will cause the drain water to flow backward and leak when the unit is not operating. (Fig. 1-43) Upward slant Prohibited Fig. 1-43 Do not apply force to the piping on the unit side when connecting the drain pipe. The pipe should not be allowed to hang unsupported from its connection to the unit. Fasten the pipe to a wall, frame, or other support as close to the unit as possible. (Fig. 1-44) Support pieces Vinyl clamps (field supply) Fig. 1-40 NOTE Make sure the drain pipe has a downward slant (1/100 or more) and that there are no water traps. Fig. 1-44 CAUTION Do not install an air bleeder as this may cause water to spray from the drain pipe outlet. (Fig. 1-41) Air bleeder Prohibited Fig. 1-41 If it is necessary to increase the height of the drain pipe, the section directly after the connection port can be raised a maximum of 1.64 ft. (500 mm). Do not raise it any higher than 1.64 ft. (500 mm), as this could result in water leaks. (Fig. 1-42) Good 11-13/16" (300 mm) or less 19-11/16" (500 mm) or less Fig. 1-42 1-122
