FOUR-WAY VAHU INDOOR UNITS
Installation and Best Layout Practices
Drain Piping Specifications
• Drain piping must have downward gradient of at
least 1/50 to 1/100; to prevent reverse flow, slope
should not be straight up and down.
• Do not damage the drain port on the indoor unit
when connecting the field-supplied drain piping.

Refrigerant Piping Insulation
Field-installed vapor and liquid refrigerant piping lines must be
properly and completely covered in insulation (up to the indoor
unit piping connections) and must comply with federal, state,
and local requirements. Any exposed piping may generate
condensate or will cause burns if touched. Insulation for this
field-installed refrigerant piping must have a minimum heat
resistance of 248°F.
If the indoor unit is installed and is operated at an extended
period in a highly humid environment (dew point tempera-
ture >73°F), however, condensate will form. To prevent this
phenomenon, install adiabatic glass wool insulation with a
thickness of 7/16 to 13/16 inches thick. Also, install glass wool
insulation on all indoor units that are located in the ceiling
plenum.
Drain Piping Insulation
Drain piping insulation must be 7/32 inches thick, minimum.
