Condensate Drain Piping; Filter Installation - LG LK-0580CC Instrucciones De Instalación Y Mantenimiento

5. Condensate Drain Piping

A. CONDENSATE DRAIN
A 3/4 inch male condensate drain connection is located on the corner of the unit next to the evaporator
section access panel. A trap should be installed and filled with water before starting the unit to avoid
air from being drawn through. Follow local codes and standard piping practices when running the drain
line. Pitch the line downward, away from the unit, and avoid long horizontal runs. See Figure 4.
Do not use reducing fittings in the drain lines.
The condensate drain must be:
1. Made of 3/4" pipe size.
2. Pitched 1/4" per foot to provide free drainage to convenient drain system.
3. Trapped
4. Must not be connected to closed drain system.
Static pressure
B. OUTDOOR COIL CONDENSATE DRAINAGE PRECAUTION
Condensate drains from the outdoor coil during the heating and defrost cycles. Normally this
condensate may be allowed to drain directly onto the ground/roof. A gravel bed is recommended to
prevent mud splashing.
WARNING : The unit should not be installed in an area where mud or ice could cause personal injury.
Remember that condensate drips from the outdoor coil during heat and defrost cycles
and that this condensate freezes when the temperature of the outdoor air is below
0°C(32°F)
