Multi-venting and Vent Terminations

When 2 or more 355CAV Furnaces are vented near each other, each furnace must be individually vented. NEVER common vent or breach vent 355CAV furnaces.

CONDENSATE DRAIN

General

Condensate trap is shipped installed in the blower shelf and factory connected for UPFLOW applications. Condensate trap must be RELOCATED for use in DOWNFLOW and HORIZONTAL applications.

Condensate trap MUST be used for all applications.

An external trap is not required when connecting the field drain to this condensate trap.

The field drain connection (condensate trap or drain tube coupling) is sized for 1/2-in. CPVC, 1/2-in. PVC, or 5/8-in. ID tube connection.

Drain pipe and fittings must conform to ANSI standards and ASTM D1785, D2466, or D2846. CPVC or PVC cement must conform to ASTM D2564 or F493. Primer must conform to ASTM F656. In Canada, use CSA or ULC certified schedule 40 CPVC or PVC drain pipe, fittings, and cement.

When a condensate pump is required, select a pump which is approved for condensing furnace applications. To avoid condensate spillage, select a pump with an overflow switch.

Furnace condensate is mildly acidic, typically in the pH range of

3.2to 4.5. Due to corrosive nature of this condensate, a condensate pH neutralizing filter may be desired. Check with local authorities to determine if a pH neutralizer is required.

Application

The furnace, A/C, and humidifier drains may be combined and drained together. The A/C drain must have an external, field-supplied trap prior to the furnace drain connection. All drain connections (furnace, A/C, or humidifier) must be terminated into an open or vented drain as close to the respective

equipment as possible to to prevent siphoning of the

equipment’s drain.

See Fig. 45 for example of possible field drain attachment using 1/2-in. CPVC or PVC tee for vent and A/C or humidifier drain connection.

Outdoor draining of the furnace is permissible if allowed by local codes. Caution should be taken when freezing ambient may freeze drain pipe and prohibit draining.

!WARNING

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.

Caution should be taken to prevent draining where slippery conditions may cause personal injuries. Excessive condensate draining may cause saturated soil conditions which may result in damage to plants.

Condensate Drain Protection

Freezing condensate left in condensate trap and drain line may cause cracks, and possible water damage may occur. If freeze protection is required, use condensate freeze protection accessory or equivalent 3 to 6 watt per ft at 120v and 40_F self-regulating, shielded, and waterproof heat tape. See Installation Instructions supplied with accessory or heat tape manufacturer’s recommendations.

1. Fold heat tape in half and wrap on itself 3 times.
