CONDENSATE DRAIN LINES & DRAIN TRAP

CONDENSATE DRAIN LINES & DRAIN TRAP

A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by extracting almost all of the heat from the products of combustion and cooling them to the point where condensation takes place. The condensate which is generated must be piped to an appropri- ate drain location.

In upright installations, the furnace’s drain hoses may exit either the right or left side of the furnace. NOTE: If the alternate vent/flue outlet is utilized in an upright installation, the drain trap and drain connections must be located on the same side as the alternate vent/flue outlet.

In horizontal installations, the drain hoses will exit through the bottom (down side) of the unit with the drain trap suspended be- neath the furnace. The field-supplied drain system must be in 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.

•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.
