Design & installation Guide For McQuay MDS Multi System
4.4.2 Making and mounting accessory condensate pipes
4.4.3 Slope and supporter of condensate pipe
■ The slope condensate pipe should be more than 1/100
● The length of condensate pipe should be as short as possible to discharge the condensate
water (no air pocket on the way).
■ For a long condensate pipe, you may use a suspension bolt, to ensure the slope is 1/100 (the
PVC pipe cannot be bent)
■ The space of the horizontal pipe support is as follows:
■ The length of horizontal pipe should be as short as possible.
4.4.4 Condensate pipe trap
When the unit can generate mins pres-
sure at the condensate water outlet of
the unit, the water trap should be in-
stalled (to prevent the stench coming
into the indoor units)
■ The water trap should be installed as
shown in the right diagram.
■ Each unit can have only one water trap.
■ The water trap installed should be easy to maintain.
