5. INSTALLING DRAIN PIPES
CAUTION
Install the drain pipe in accordance with the instruc-•
tions in this Installation Manual and keep the area warm
enough to prevent condensation. Problems with the pip-
ing may lead to water leaks.
Install the drain pipe with downward gradient (1/50 to 1/100) •
and so there are no rises or traps in the pipe.
Use general hard polyvinyl chloride pipe (VP25) [outside •
diameter 38 mm].
During installation of the drain pipe, be careful to avoid •
applying pressure to the drain port of the indoor unit.
When the pipe is long, install supporters.•
Do not perform air bleeding.•
Always heat insulate (8 mm or over thick) the indoor side of •
the drain pipe.
rrange the drain pipe
lower than this portion.

and attach it to the piping hole as shown in Fig. (b).
4.4. Installing heat insulation
CAUTION
After checking for gas leaks (refer to the Installation •
Manual of the outdoor unit), perform this section.
Install heat insulation around both the large (gas) and •
small (liquid) pipes. Failure to do so may cause water
leaks.
After checking for gas leaks, insulate by wrapping insula-
tion around the two parts (Gas and Liquid) of the indoor unit
coupling, using the coupler heat insulation.
After installing the coupler heat insulation, wrap both ends
with vinyl tape so that there is no gap.
Secure both ends of the heat insulation material using Binder.
