REFRIGERANT PIPING CONNECTIONS
Depending on the installation location, it could be necessary to
install factory-supplied drain plug(s). See the section Outdoor Unit
Location Selection for information in reference to ODU placement.
Ensure drain piping is insulated. Drain water from the defrost mode will
freeze and build up in the outdoor unit, impairing heating performance,
and even will damage the outdoor unit.
Installing Outdoor Unit Drain Plug / Piping
1. See diagrams at right for drain connection, drain caps, and drain
washer locations specific to each outdoor unit. Components and
location differ depending on model of outdoor unit.
2. Connect field-supplied vinyl condensate piping to the outdoor
unit drain connection. If the field-supplied vinyl piping is too long,
position it to prevent kinks.
Check local codes for materials approved for eld-suppled condensate
drain piping.

Condensate Drain Hose Installation; from Indoor
Unit to Drain System (HEV2, HFV3, and HXV2)
Refer to the diagrams and follow proper installation and the position of the drain hose along the refrig-
erant piping installation path to avoid leaks. After the drain hose is set in place, always follow with leak
/ pressure testing and deep evacuation procedures of the refrigerant piping to be sure all refrigerant
piping is properly installed. Re-check and retest as necessary.
• Drain hose is routed from the indoor unit through the structure (wall) to the outdoor. It must slope at an angle where it is higher at the
indoor unit and lower toward the outdoor area, thereby letting gravity push any condensation down and out.
• The drain hose might need to be extended so that condensate can be properly routed away.
• The drain hose extension must be properly insulated to ensure condensation will not damage walls, floors, etc. Foamed polyethylene or
equivalent of at least 5/16 inches thick is required.

Connection Side (HEV2, HFV3, and HXV2)
1. Remove the drain plug on left or right side depending on the piping installation. Insert the
drain hose on the left side when left side piping is used; install the drain hose on the right
side when right side piping is used.
2. Plug up the unused drain hose hole with a drain cap.
3. Install the drain hose onto the drain connection, and firmly attach it to the indoor unit using
a type “E” screw.
