Hitachi RPC-5.0FSR - Drain Piping; 14 Drain Piping

14 DRAIN PIPING
Perfom the drain piping work after connecting the refrigerant
pipes and attaching insulations.
! DANGER
Do not insert the drain pipe for the indoor unit to the drainage trench
where corrosive gases occur. Poisonous gases ow into the room,
so that may cause the poisoning.
? NOTE
• Do not create an upper-slope or rise for the drain piping, since drain
water can ow back to the indoor unit and leakage into the room will
occur when the system operation is stopped.
• Do not connect the drain pipe with sanitary or sewage piping or any
other drainage piping.
• When the common drain piping is connected with other indoor units,
the connected position of each indoor unit must be higher than the
common piping. The pipe size of the common drain pipe must be
large enough according to the unit size and number of units.
• After performing drain piping work and electrical wiring, check to
ensure that water ows smoothly as in the following procedure.
• If there is excessive clearance between the drain pipe connection and
the drain hose, add a sealing material between both parts in order to
t and not deform the drain hose.
1 Connecting direction of drain pipe: the standard direction of
drain piping connection is right side as viewed from front.
However, it can be performed from the left side when it is
required due to building construction.

2 Connecting drain hose.
a. Insert the hose into the hose clamp.
b. Push the drain hose onto the drain boss until the hose
reaches the end of drain pan. (If the drain hose is not
inserted completely, it causes water leakage.)
c. Tighten the screw for hose clamp to face the screw part
downward as shown in the gure below to prevent dew
drop.
d. Wrap the insulation (accessory) around the hose clamp
to cover drain hose, drain pan, hose clamp without gap.
(If there is gap, dew drop may occur.)
