Installing The Condensate Drain - Lennox CBA25UHE Series Unit Information

Installing the Condensate Drain

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

WHEN A COIL IS LOCATED ABOVE A FINISHED SPACE, A
3/4" (19.1MM) SECONDARY DRAIN LINE MUST BE:
CONNECTED TO SECONDARY DRAIN PAN
OR
CONNECTED TO THE OVERFLOW DRAIN OUTLET OF
THE AIR HANDLER DRAIN PAN.
TRAPS MUST BE DEEP ENOUGH TO OFFSET MAXIMUM STATIC DIFFERENCES —
GENERALLY, TWO INCHES (51MM).

IMPORTANT
After removal of drain pan plug(s), check drain hole(s)
to verify that drain opening is fully open and free of any
debris. Also check to make sure that no debris has fallen
into the drain pan during installation that may plug up the
drain opening.
1 - Remove the appropriate drain knockouts. If
necessary, remove the indoor coil assembly from
the cabinet.
2 - Connect primary drain line connection to the primary
drain pan connection. The primary drain connection
is flush with the bottom of the inside of the pan.
Secondary connection is raised above the bottom
of the inside of the pan.

FOR NEGATIVE PRESSURE COILS (BLOWER
AFTER COIL) TRAPS ARE REQUIRED ON ALL
DRAIN LINES CONNECTED TO COIL.
NOTE – When making drain fitting connections to the
drain pan, hand tighten the fitting and use a thread seal-
ant. Over-tightening the fittings can split connections on
the drain pan.
3 - If the auxiliary drain line is to be used, remove
the plug and route the drain line so that water
draining from the outlet will be easily noticed by
the homeowner. The auxiliary drain line does not
require venting or a trap. Refer to local codes.
4 - After removal of drain pan plugs, check the drain
port to see if holes have been drilled. If not drilled,
use a 19/32" bit to drill out the primary drain hole;
use a 3/8" drill bit for the secondary drain hole.
Remove all drill shavings.
5 - Make sure drain ports and drain pan are free of all
debris.
