935SA: Installation, Start-up, Operating and Service Maintenance Instructions
WARNING
!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND PROPERTY
DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in property damage, personal
injury or death.
The condensate trap provided with furnace must be installed per the
furnace installation instructions. Do not modify the trap or substitute a
different trap.
!
The condensate trap extends below the underside of the casing in the
horizontal position. A minimum of 6⅜-in. of physical clearance is
required and 1-in. of additional clearance is recommended between the
casing side and the furnace platform for the trap to extend out of the
casing in the horizontal position. Allow at least 1/4-in. per foot of slope
down.

CONDENSATE DRAIN CONNECTION

CAUTION
!
FROZEN AND BURST WATER PIPE HAZARD
Failure to protect against the risk of freezing may result in property
damage.
Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an area
which may drop below freezing. This can cause improper operation or
damage to equipment. If furnace environment has the potential of
freezing, the drain trap and drain line must be protected. The use of
accessory electric heat tape and/or RV antifreeze is required for these
installations.
CAUTION
!
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in burst water pipes and/or
property damage.
If a condensate pump is installed, a plugged condensate drain or a failed
pump may cause the furnace to shut down. Do not leave the home
unattended during freezing weather without turning off water supply
and draining water pipes or otherwise protecting against the risk of
frozen pipes.
DO NOT trap condensate water in the drain line in any other location
than at the condensate drain trap supplied with the furnace. If possible,
DO NOT route the drain line where it may freeze. The drain line must
terminate at an inside drain to prevent freezing of the condensate and
possible property damage.
Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an area
which may drop below 32°F (0°C). This can cause improper operation or
damage to the equipment. If the furnace environment has the potential of
freezing, the drain trap and drain line must be protected. In areas where
the temperature may be below 32°F (0°C), a Condensate Freeze
Protection heat tape kit is strongly recommended. Refer to the Accessory
section of the Product Data Sheet for current kit number. A
self-regulating, shielded and waterproof heat tape rated at 3 to 6 watt per
foot (10 to 20 watt per meter) at 115 volt, 40°F (4°C) may be used to
provide freeze protection of the remaining condensate drain line. Wrap
the drain trap and drain line with the heat tape and secure with
Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.
NOTICE
appropriate plastic ties. Follow the heat tape manufacturer's
recommendations. Prime the trap before furnace operation.
The condensate drain line must be supported and/or secured per local
codes. Supports and clamps should be spaced to prevent the drain line
from sagging or being dislocated from the furnace or termination point.
In the absence of local codes, consult the current edition of the National
Standard Plumbing Code, in the U.S.
An indoor coil condensate drain or humidifier drain can be connected to
the external furnace condensate drain provided:
• The drains are not hard piped together, and
• There is an air gap at the point where the two drain lines meet or
• All condensate piping is at least 3/4" PVC and there is a relief tee at
the top of condensate drain piping as shown (see
11
Fig.
