Drain piping
CAUTION
Condensate drain piping installation and material must comply with applicable codes and regulations for
the specific indoor installation.
The condensate drain piping must be insulated to prevent sweating. All material used in the plenum space above
the ceiling must comply with applicable codes and regulations. If the condensate drain exits the unit downward
(gravity flow) the slope and suspension methods used for the condensate drain piping must comply with applicable
codes and regulations.
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 65'7" (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.

Flexible hose
Use the attached flexible hose to adjust centre discrepancy of the hard vinyl chloride pipe or to adjust the angle.
Do not use the flexible hose as stretched, or do not deform it more extent than that in the following figure.
Fix the soft end of the flexible hose with the attached hose band.
Use the flexible hose on a horizontal level.
