DK (Drain Kit)
In the event that the outdoor temperature drops below 37°F, any water
that re mains in the chas sis basepan is drained into the sleeve pan on
WE and WY models to prevent freezing. (NOTE: In the cooling mode
of the WS, WE and WY models, condensate over ow is possible in
very humid climates). For these particular in stanc es, an op tion al drain
kit (Ac ces so ry #DK) is available for water removal.
If you desire to drain condensate from the basepan during unit
operation, this unit is provided with a drain nipple that can be
attached to the basepan. You must provide a 3/8" outside diameter
thin-wall plastic or copper tube which will attach to the drain nipple.
Follow the instructions below:
STEP 1 Find the drain plate on the rear of the basepan and
remove it. (See Figure 13).

the clamped drain hose before sliding the chassis out of the sleeve.
