6.4.1 General guidelines
▪ Pipe length. Keep drain piping as short as possible.
▪ Pipe size. If drain hose extension or embedded drain piping is required, use
appropriate parts that match the hose front end.
NOTICE
▪ Install the drain hose with a downward slope.
▪ Traps are NOT permitted.
▪ Do NOT put the end of the hose in water.
▪ Drain hose extension. To extend the drain hose, use a field supplied hose with
inner Ø16mm. Do NOT forget to use a heat insulation tube on the indoor section
of the extension hose.

▪ Ridgid polyvinyl chloride pipe. When connecting a ridgid polyvinyl chloride pipe
(nominal Ø13mm) directly to the drain hose as with embedded piping work, use
a field supplied drain socket (nominal Ø13mm).
