* Pipe length (ft) specified for maximum pipe lengths located in unconditioned spaces. Pipes located in unconditioned space cannot exceed total allowable pipe length as
specified in Table 7.
† Insulation thickness based on R value of 3.5 (ft_ • °F• hr)/(Btu•in.)
CAUTION: Unit must not be installed, operated, and
then turned off and left in an unoccupied structure during
cold weather when temperature drops to 32°F and below
unless drain trap and drain line have adequate freeze
protection. See Service and Maintenance Instructions for
winterizing procedure. (See Fig. 15.)
X. CONDENSATE DRAIN
A. General
Condensate trap is shipped installed in the blower shelf and factory
connected for UPFLOW application. 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 l/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 as shown in Table 5. 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 conden-
sate spillage, select a pump with an overflow switch.
Furnace condensate is mildly acidic, typically in the pH range of
3.2 to 4.5. Due to corrosive nature of this condensate, a condensate
38 pH neutralizing filter may be desired. Check with local
authorities to determine if a pH neutralizer is required.
B. 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 prevent siphoning of the equipment's drain.
See Fig. 46 for 2 of possible field drain attachment using 1/2-in.
CPVC or PVC tee for vent and A/C or humidifier drain connec-
tion.
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.
