Waste Outlet and P-TRAP
The waste outlet is located in the center, 8" from the front
of the case.
A 1 1/2" P-TRAP and threaded adapter are supplied with
each fixture. The P-TRAP must be installed to prevent air
leakage and insect entrance into the fixture.
NOTE:
PVC-DWV solvent cement is recommended. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Installing Condensate Drain
Poorly or improperly installed condensate drains can
seriously interfere with the operation of this refrigerator, and
result in costly maintenance and product losses. Please
follow the recommendations listed below when installing
condensate drains to insure a proper installation:
1. Never use pipe for condensate drains smaller
than the nominal diameter of the pipe or P-TRAP
supplied with the case.
2. When connecting condensate drains, the P-TRAP
must be used as part of the condensate drain
to prevent air leakage or insect entrance. Store
plumbing system floor drains should be at least 14"
off the center of the case to allow use of the P-TRAP
pipe section. Never use two water seals in series in
any one line. Double P-TRAPS in series will cause a
lock and prevent draining.
3. Always provide as much down hill slope ("fall") as
possible; 1/8" per foot is the preferred minimum.
PVC pipe, when used, must be supported to
maintain the 1/8" pitch and to prevent warping.
4. Avoid long runs of condensate drains. Long runs
make it impossible to provide the "fall" necessary for
good drainage.
Plumbing
5. Provide a suitable air break between the flood rim of
the floor drain and outlet of condensate drain. 1" is
ideal.
6. Prevent condensate drains from freezing:
a. Do not install condensate drains in contact with
non-insulated suction lines. Suction lines should
be insulated with a non absorbent insulation
material such as Armstrong's Armaflex.
b. Where condensate drains are located in dead
air spaces (between refrigerators or between a
refrigerator and a wall), provide means to prevent
freezing. The water seal should be insulated to
prevent condensation.
RGDC (Self Contained)
The waste outlet and P-TRAP are the same as the remote
except the case condensate drains to a pump assembly
mounted to the top of the case into the top of the water evap
assembly. Hot air from the condenser is forced through the
water evap assembly, evaporating the water. Any overflow
from the water evap assembly is directed back to the
pump assembly. It is critical that the case be level to
keep the water evap assembly from overflowing!! The
metal cover over the top of the condensing unit must be
in place to force the hot condenser air through the water
evap assembly.
The condensate pump can be accessed through the front
of the closeoff panel.
