accordance with all local codes and the instructions in the follow-
ing sections.
Follow the bullets listed below when installing the drain system.
Refer to the following sections for specific details concerning fur-
nace drain trap installation and drain hose hook ups.
The drain trap supplied with the furnace must be used.
The drain line between furnace and drain location must
be constructed of 3/4” PVC or CPVC.
The drain line between furnace and drain location must
maintain a 1/4 inch per foot downward slope toward
the drain.
Do not trap the drain line in any other location than at
the drain trap supplied with the furnace.
Do not route the drain line outside where it may freeze.
If the drain line is routed through an area which may
see temperatures near or below freezing, precautions
must be taken to prevent condensate from freezing
within the drain line.
If an air conditioning coil is installed with the furnace, a
common drain may be used. An open tee must be
installed in the drain line, near the cooling coil, to
relieve positive air pressure from the coil’s plenum.
This is necessary to prohibit any interference with the
function of the furnace’s drain trap.
UPRIGHT I NSTALLATIONS
In an upright installation drain hoses are connected to drain ports
on the rubber elbow and the recuperator coil front cover. The drain
lines are then routed through the right or left side panel and into
the drain trap secured to the outside of the cabinet.
NOTE: Refer to Section X, Condensate Drain Lines and Drain Trap
- Alternate Vent/Flue Hose Connections for upright installations
using an alternate vent/flue outlet.
