Connect the Drain Hose for Quantum Fresh (WYT-FA) SystemsUpdated 10 days ago

Introduction

This article explains how to connect the drain hose for Quantum Fresh (WYT-FA) systems

Unlike the other wall-mounted systems, the drain hose for the Quantum Fresh system can only be attached to the right-hand side of the unit (right when facing the back of the unit). 

For information on connecting the drain hose for the other wall-mounted systems, see this article

Steps

Follow these steps to connect the drain hose for wall-mounted systems: 

  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.
