Matters Needing Attention About Air Conditioner Drain Line Installation

As we all know, when installing the air conditioner, there will be outdoor units, whose installation requires drain lines, so the installation of drain lines is a must for air conditioner. Then where is the air conditioner drain line? The air conditioner drain line is usually located at the wall hole where the internal unit is connected to the copper pipe, which can go through the hole from the right or the left to connect the internal unit. It is mainly used to remove the water produced by the operation of air conditioner. And the air conditioner drain line installation will use the waterproof tape for wrapping. So what are the matters needing attention about air conditioner drain line installation? When installing, we must do a good job of moisturizing treatment, master the slope of the drain line, and install the exhaust hole for exhaust. Let's take a look at the air conditioner drain line installation.


1. Air conditioner drain line installation: to do a good job of moisturizing treatment, master the slope of the drain line

Do a good job of moisturizing treatment: In the air conditioner drain line installation at specified places, if the air conditioner drain lines are not insulated, the surface of the local air conditioner drain lines will condense, and in serious cases, the suspended ceiling will be damaged. Therefore, use thermal insulation foam to keep it warm because cold water will be discharged from the drain lines of air conditioners.


Master the slope of the drain line: In the air conditioner drain line installation at specified places, ensure that the connecting point of the drain line is higher than the height of the main pipe. Install the drain line at a inclined slope. In this way, the drain line will not be tilted or lifted. Otherwise when the internal unit is stopped, the condensed water will flow back into the internal unit, which will soak the ceiling and lead to serious consequences.


2. Air conditioner drain line installation: to install the exhaust hole, pay attention to connect the sewage pipe


To install the exhaust hole: In the air conditioner drain line installation at specified places, details should be paid attention to. The exhaust hole should be installed every 15 meters. The installation of exhaust holes can eliminate abnormal sound and make air conditioner drain parts work more smooth.


Pay attention to the connection to sewage pipes: when the air conditioner drain line is installed in the specified place, do not make the installation too fast in order to save time. If the drain is directly connected to the sewage pipe, or the drain of the drain line is directly connected to the sewage pipe of the toilet, it is easy to cause the phenomenon of air backflow, so that the sewage smell is dispersed into the room, affecting the life of the family.
