3. Using a 2.5” hole saw drill, drill a hole in the
wall. Make sure that the hole is drilled at a
slight downward angle, so that the outdoor
end of the hole is lower than the indoor end
by about 0.5”. This will ensure proper water
drainage (See Fig. 5.4). Place the protective
wall cu in the hole. This protects the edges
of the hole and will help seal it once you
nish installation.
4. Pass the drain hose through the wall
hole. Make sure the water drains to a
safe location where it will not cause water
damage or a slipping hazard.
NOTE: When drilling the hole, make sure to
avoid wires, plumbing, and other sensitive
components.
NOTE: The drainpipe outlet should be at
least 1.9” above the ground. If it touches the
ground, the unit may become blocked and
malfunction. If you discharge the water directly
into a sewer, make sure that the drain has a U
or S pipe to catch odors that might otherwise
come back into the house.
