Step 3:
Drill wall hole for connective piping
1. Determine the location of the wall hole
based on the location of the outdoor unit.
2. Using a 65mm (2.5in) or 90mm(3.54in)
(depending on models )core drill, drill a
hole in the wall. Make sure that the hole
is drilled at a slight downward angle, so
that the outdoor end of the hole is lower
than the indoor end by about 12mm (0.5in).
This will ensure proper water drainage.
3. Place the protective wall cuff in the hole. This
protects the edges of the hole and will help
seal it when you finish the installation process.
CAUTION
When drilling the wall
hole, make sure to
avoid wires, plumbing,
and other sensitive
components.

Step 4:
Connect drain hose
NOTE ON DRAINPIPE INSTALLATION
•
When using an extended drainpipe, tighten
the indoor connection with an additional
protection tube to prevent it from pulling
loose.
•
The drainpipe should slope downward at a
gradient of at least 1/100 to prevent water
from flowing back into the air conditioner.
•
To prevent the pipe from sagging, space
hanging wires every 1-1.5m (39-59”).
•
Incorrect installation could cause water to
flow back into the unit and flood.
The drainpipe is used to drain water away from
the unit. Improper installation may cause unit
and property damage.
CAUTION
•
Insulate all piping to prevent condensation,
which could lead to water damage.
•
If the drainpipe is bent or installed
incorrectly, water may leak and cause a
water-level switch malfunction.
•
In HEAT mode, the outdoor unit will
discharge water. Ensure that the drain hose
is placed in an appropriate area to avoid
water damage and slippage.
•
DO NOT
pull the drainpipe forcefully. This
could disconnect it.
NOTE ON PURCHASING PIPES
Installation requires a polyethylene tube
(exterior diameter = 3.7-3.9cm, interior diameter
= 3.2cm), which can be obtained at your local
hardware store or dealer.
Indoor Drainpipe Installation
Install the drainpipe as illustrated in the following
Figure.

Insulation
Cover the drainpipe with heat insulation to
prevent condensation and leakage.
Attach the mouth of the drain hose to the
unit’s outlet pipe. Sheath the mouth of the
hose and clip it firmly with a pipe clasp.

NOTE:
When connecting multiple drainpipes,
install the pipes as illustrated in the following
Figure.

3.
Pass the drain hose through the wall hole.
Make sure the water drains to a safe location
where it will not cause water damage or a
slipping hazard.
NOTE:
The drainpipe outlet should be at least
5cm (1.9”) above the ground. If it touches the
ground, the unit may become blocked and
malfunction. If you discharge the water directly
into a sewer, make sure that the drain has a U
or S pipe to catch odors that might otherwise
come back into the house.
