TYPICAL INSTALLATION

CONDENSATE HOSE AND DRAIN PAN

*Note: Condensate Trap Loops must be oriented in a vertical plane as shown. The traps also must be primed by filling half of the loop with water prior to operating the water heater. Carefully plan the location of the loops and straight sections of hose prior to cutting hoses. If necessary, secure the hoses to the side of the water heater or some other rigid structure to prevent crimping. While securing the hoses, do not pierce or crimp the hoses.
