W
hen installing the drain on aircon units, you
can often find the head unit drain will not
fit the outside conduit drain without
heating it up first. After recently doing the old
heat-up-the-conduit method (which wasn’t ideal) I
discovered a simpler way. Using the deburring tool
you use to deburr the copper pipe to scrape the
inside of the outside drain. A couple of scrapes are
just enough to allow the head unit drain to fit nice
and tightly into the conduit. It saves a trip to the
truck for the gas bottle, and also the time it takes to
heat up the conduit!
