Connect the Drain Hose for Wall-Mounted SystemsUpdated 13 days ago

Introduction

This article explains how to connect the drain hose for wall-mounted systems. 

The indoor unit has one drain connection on the left and right side. Either one can be utilized. One side will have a hose connected, while the other is plugged. 

By default, the drain hose is attached to the left-hand side of the unit (left when facing the back of the unit). However, it can also be attached to the right-hand side. 

The drain hose for Quantum Fresh (WYT-FA) systems can only attached to the right-hand side of the unit. For information on connecting the drain hose for Quantum Fresh systems, see this article. 

This article is for the following systems: 

• Diamante Essenza (WYT-17)
• Diamante Pro (WYT-20)
• Quantum Ultra (WYT-24)
• Quantum Hyperformance (WYT-25)

Steps

1. Attach the drain hose on the same side that the refrigerant piping exits the unit from, ensuring proper drainage. 
2. Attach any drain hose extensions (sold separately) to the end of the drain hose. 
3. Wrap the connection point of the drain hose firmly with Teflon tape to create a good seal and prevent leaks. 
4. For the portion of the drain hose that will remain indoors, wrap it with foam pipe insulation to prevent condensation. 
5. Remove the air filter and pour a small amount of water into the drain pan to make sure that water flows away from the unit smoothly. 

Notes

• Do not kink the drain hose. 
• Do not create a water trap (siphon). 
• Do not put the end of the drain hose in water or in a container that will collect water.
