Drain pipe just for the water to flow out, why need to insulate?  rclxub.gif

coz the water is cold. can cause the outer pvc drain pipe to "sweat" thus wet the concrete/wall when conceal inside? or my knowledge is wrong? rclxub.gif

aircond sifu here
need some suggestion and advise

my house layout as attached.
user posted image

1. based on the layout and dimension, does the a/c capacity is sufficient? is it underpower or overpower?
2. i will do a divider for the living & dining area
3. is it a good idea to place the a/c at the place in the guest room? or should i change direction? reason i choose that small place is so that i can install back to back tongue.gif terrace house have headache when comes to the piping routing

hope everyone can give advise. thanks!

see attached drawing with orange colour is original a/c point with drain pipe which developer provide

1. living room i change location becoz if i use back original location i need a long piping for my compressor. i dont want compressor near my main entrance.

2. i change location for dining as well so that my piping can go through the maid room area easily. shorter piping also.

3. original location for bedroom 2 is the one u mention i guess? due to b2b installation also thats why i switch it further back. now like u say worry on the coldness. maybe i need to upgrade to 1.5hp?

4. master bedroom 1.5 enough? coz my balcony area will be seal up, then there will no longer have any door over that place. it will be a study area there. so open space increase.

btw, the hp that i propose is based on normal a/c not inverter. does that affect as well?
and my floor to ceiling height is around 10ft high for ground floor and 9.5ft for 1st floor

I think maybe 2.0HP.
Because 23 feet x 10 feet is very big space.

my master bed room is 18 feet x 10 feet, regret to install 1.5HP.
Plan to change to 2.0HP in future and move the 1.5HP to other smaller room.
*
but my house is a terrace, and not really expose to direct sunlight. need a 2hp? i think a bit overkill? no?

Bedroom 2 is depend where you put the bed location.
Actually 1hp on inverter should good then enough.

For ceiling high on 3m is not an issue.

1.5hp is option. Cause due to bigger hp may cooling faster and reaching more fast on actual temp to preset.
After you may feel that running on & off to made you uncomfortable to sleeping at morning or raining time.

Unless to decide inverter to be solve the on & off issue.

at the moment plan to put bed on the left side on the entrance. which air con wind will not be directly blowing on the user.
