Carrier 40RU manual Condensate Drains, Drain Pan Slope Adjustment

Condensate Drain - Install a trapped condensate drain line to unit connection as shown in Fig. 13. The unit drain connection is a PVC stub. See Fig. 14. Some areas may require an adapter to connect to either galvanized steel or copper pipe. For these applications, install a field-supplied threaded PVC adapter.

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.

Fig. 14 - Drain Pan Slope Adjustment

As shipped, the unit’s condensate drain pan is NOT sloped towards the drain connection. The pan slope must be changed to pitch towards the side of the unit with the drain connection. See Fig. 14. Loosen the 2 screws next to 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 1/4-in. over its length toward the drain connection.
