Condensate Drain - Lennox CBX25UH Installation Instructions Manual

Condensate Drain

On units of this type, where the blower "draws" rather than "blows" air through the coil, traps must be installed in the con­
densate drain lines (primary and auxiliary, if used). Traps prevent the blower from drawing air through the drain lines into
the air supply.

NOTE — WHEN AN AIR HANDLER IS LOCATED
ABOVE A FINISHED SPACE THE SECONDARY
DRAIN PAN MUST HAVE A LARGER FOOTPRINT
THAN THE AIR HANDLER.

TRAPS MUST BE DEEP ENOUGH TO OFFSET MAXIMUM STATIC DIFFERENCES —
GENERALLY, TWO INCHES (51MM).

PIPE NIPPLE PROVIDED IN BAG ASSEMBLY - SCH 80, 3/4" I. D. X 5" - 34K7401 (1): CUT THE PIPE
IN HALF AND USE IT TO ROUTE THE MAIN DRAIN.
IMPORTANT
A field-fabricated secondary drain pan, with a drain pipe
to the outside of the building, is required in all installa­
tions over a finished living space or in any area that may
be damaged by overflow from the main drain pan. In
some localities, local codes may require a secondary
drain pan for any horizontal installation.
The air handler is provided with ¾" NPT condensate drain
connections.
SLOPING THE UNIT
Make sure the unit is sloped (similar to the slope shown in
figure 11) (horizontal or upflow) so that the drain pan will
empty completely without water standing in the pan.
