INDOOR UNIT DRAIN PIPING

  • During Drain Set Piping, install as shown in the figure below.
  • Drain piping must have a down-slope (1/50 to 1/100); be sure not to provide an up-and-down slope to prevent reversal flow.
  • During the drain piping connection, be careful not to exert extra force on the drain port at the indoor unit.
  • The outside diameter of the drain connection at the indoor unit is 32 mm.
  • Piping material: Polyvinyl chloride pipe VP-25 and pipe fitting.
  • Be sure to perform heat insulation on the drain piping. (Refer to 5 HEAT INSULATION section heat insulators for drain piping & drain pipe installation).

BEFORE PERFORMING THE INSTALLATION OF DRAIN PIPING

  1. Limitations of Raising the Drain Pipe Connection
    • The drain pipe can be raised to a maximum height of 850 mm from the bottom of the ceiling.
    • Do not attempt to raise it higher than 850 mm.
  2. Limitations of Drain Pipe Connection
    • Do not install the drain pipe with an upward gradient from the drain port connection. This will cause the drain water to flow backward and leak when the unit is not operating.
    • Do not install an air bleeder as this may cause water to spray from the drain pipe outlet.
    • Do not provide a U-trap or bell-shaped trap in the middle of the drain pipe. Doing so will cause abnormal sounds.
    • Make sure the drain pipe has a downward gradient (1/100 or more; downward from the drain port connection)Panasonic-S-1821PU-Inverter-NX-Series-Way-Cassette-fig-1 \(21\)
    • Do not bend downwards on less than 0°
    • Trap prohibited. Doing so will cause abnormal sound

DRAIN TEST
The air conditioner uses a drain-up motor to drain water. Use the following procedure to test the drain-up motor operation.

  • Connect the main drain pipe to the exterior and leave it provisionally until the test comes to an end.
  • Feed water to the flexible drain hose and check the piping for leakage.
  • Be sure to check the drain-up motor for normal operating and noise when the electric wiring is complete.
  • When the test is complete, connect the flexible drain hose to the drain port.

HEAT INSULATION

CAUTION: Be sure to perform heat insulation on the drain, liquid, and gas piping. Imperfection in heat insulation work leads to water leakage
