Installing The Drain Pipe - Panasonic S-15MM1E5A Instrucciones De Instalación

(4) Adjust the height of the unit.
(5) Check the unit is horizontally level.
CAUTION
● Make sure the unit is installed level using a level or a vinyl
hose filled with water. In using a vinyl hose instead of a level,
adjust the top surface of the unit to the surface of the water
at both ends of the vinyl hose and adjust the unit horizontally.
(One thing to watch out for in particular is if the unit is
installed so that the slope is not in the direction of the drain
piping, this might cause leaking.) (Fig. 3-12)

(6) Tighten the upper nut.

3-6. Installing the Drain Pipe

(1) Prepare standard hard PVC pipe VP20 (O.D. 26 mm) for the
drain and use the supplied hose band to prevent water leaks.
(Fig. 3-13)
The PVC pipe must be purchased separately.
The transparent drain part on the unit allows you to check
drainage.

● Attach so that the hose band fastener is on the side of the
drain port. (Fig. 3-13)
● Attach the hose bands so that each is approximately 5 to 25
mm from the end of the supplied drain hose. (Fig. 3-13)
● Do not use adhesive at the drain connection port on the
indoor unit.
● Insert the drain pipe until it contacts the socket, as
shown in the figure above, then secure it tightly with the
hose band.
● Do not use the supplied drain hose bent at a 90° angle.
(The maximum permissible bend is 45°.)
NOTE
Make sure the drain pipe has a downward gradient (1/100 or
more) and that there are no water traps.
● Do not install an air bleeder as this may cause water to
spray from the drain pipe outlet. (Fig. 3-14)
Fig. 3-12
● Make sure that the drain port is not a downward gradient
from the joint section (may lead to abnormal noise). (Fig.
3-15)
● If it is necessary to increase the height of the drain pipe,
the section directly after the connection port can be
raised a maximum of 500 mm. Do not raise it any higher
than 500 mm, as this could result in water leaks. (Fig.
3-15)
