I am thinking of installing this inside the garage on an outside wall. I believe I need to install a drain - will a pipe through the wall work?

I do have one of these units and installed it myself in our basement. As to the question if a drain through the wall would work. Yes you can run the drain through the garage wall. I ran mine up and along the rafters to my drain.

that should work fine. we had a sink that we tapped into the drain line, but your idea should work. we had no problem other than operator error and got good service when we did need help.

Basically, yes. Depending on the depth, you might need an extension tunnel. I have mine installed through a wall that is 2x4 construction.Kevin

I have mine indoors on a tile floor in a section of my garage. It works well. I would recommend some kind of pad underneath. Because it does splash out when the spa is turned on. It uses a regular outlet.

Floor/cieling yes, through the roof not so sure. I used my through the exterior wall and it works fine. I suppose it should wofk through the roof as long as you seal out the water/weather good.

I would say yes. I was very pleased with how the epoxy hardened. I put a little too much on the side wall during my repair, so the epoxy drooped a little before hardening, but it really fixed the hole. Should do fine arond the drain. Much cheaper than a $200.00 plumber visit! :)

We mounted ours in the garage. I don't know if it can go outside. It works well for us!

I think installing it in a wall should not be a problem if properly supported and angled to shed water away from the wall.Also steps to water proof the opening should be taken.

1. Yes, it is intended to be installed through an exterior wall. 2. See the product description (approx 14.5x14.5" on exterior side, 13.5x13.5" interior grill, fits through walls 4.5 to 9.5" thick) 3. Not sure why you'd want to do that with this, it's intended to be mounted through a wall, with the kitchen cabinet door closed you wouldn't get enough air flow and would probably burn the motor out. Plus the outside door opening and the on/off switch are handled by the chain you see in the picture, so I doubt you'd want to have to reach to the back of a cabinet to operate the fan.

It's to be installed flush-mount through the wall, so it should be properly hard-wired from the house-wiring inside the wall, possibly with a more conveniently located (lower) wall switch. If not work-competent, have someone who is, install it.

I have been doing plumbing for awhile and "truthfully" it's really NOT the sink when it come to draining power. Think about it, if you just put any sink on the floor and pour down water or any liquid, it will go through the sink hole immediately. However, what could/would affect the draining is your plumbing pipes. Some pipe drains fast and some drains slow. I have no complaints whatsover with this sink in terms of drainage, but my plumbing system is only 6 years old. Hope this helps.

I am an HVAC Contractor, please read the installation instructions, you must have a 1/2" condensate drain line run from that drain port to an approved floor drain or a condensate pump to an approved drain. These are condensing water heaters as such need to eliminate the condensation that they produce. If you live in a cold climate area, most codes prevent you from draining it to an outside location due to freezing. I would highly recommend you have a licensed HVAC contractor check of the installation.

Leslie, very easy to go to HD or Lowes and get a drain plug and install one into the container your self. it would take a small hole and a drill to put in the hole. No big deal at all to do.

Physically this should work, however, the wall between the garage and the rest of a house is likely fire-rated, and installing this between the house and garage will also likely negate that fire-rate-ability. -greg frohring

Hi, check with larger plumbing store, I used a 1.5 galvanized 90 with steel locking ring on the bottom, put it threw the wall with 3/4 inch pipe on the other end with solid clamps to hold it in place, running the cable up inside to the panel. worked for me.. Stu.

Hi Kim,The unit drains by gravity. If your hose is higher than the unit, it will not drain through the hose.

I use an old garden hose for a drain hose for my dehumidifier. Had to cut it to lengths and cut the end off to get it through the wall to drain outside.

I hook mine to the utility sink in my garage without any problems. It comes with adapters to attach to your faucets. Think you can do it without any problem. Only problem may be the length of the hose.
