Fig. 13 -- Condensate Drains
NOTE: A trap must be installed in the condensate drain
line to ensure that the static pressure of fans is balanced with
the water column in the drain line and that condensate can
drain completely from pan. Without a trap, air can be drawn
up drain line until water level in condensate pan becomes
equal to static pressure created by fans, preventing complete
drainage. Conditions will worsen as filters become dirty.
Install clean--out plugs in trap. Pitch drain line downward
to an open floor drain or sump. Provide service clearance
around drain line to permit removal of unit panels.
Observe all local sanitary codes.

the drain outlet at both ends of the unit, push drain pan
down in the slots near the drain connection, and up in the
slots on the opposite end. Re--tighten screws. The pan
should have a pitch of at least
