Installing Condensate
Drain Lines
NOTE
• When making drain fitting connections to the
drain tubing, DO NOT overtighten.
Overtightening fittings could crack or damage
the condensate drain pan.
• Condensate from this unit is not acidic.
The condensate drain lines and connections to
the drain piping must meet state and local
codes.
Do not reduce the drain line size to less than the
condensate connection size provided.
Ensure that the condensate drain lines maintain
a downward slope for proper drainage.
The drain line should be insulated to prevent
condensation from forming on the outside of the
drain line.
Do not allow condensate to drain into water
heater drain pan.
If no floor drain is available or the drain is above
the level of the condensate line, then a common
condensate pump with a capacity no less than
2 gallon per day must be installed.
1
Apply Teflon tape on the NPT end to prevent
leaking.
- 60 Hz (R134a)
2
Attach elbow with 3/4" slip &3/4"NPT to the
primary drain connection.
3
Using an approved sealant, insert the PVC
pipe into the female end. Condensate drain
must be piped to an adequate drain.
4
Using 1/2" PVC piping, a elbow with 1/2"
slip & 1/2" NPT, and an approved sealant,
attach the elbow to secondary drain
connection and insert the PVC pipe into the
female end.
