Local codes may require a drain pan under entire furnace and
condensate trap when a condensing furnace is used in an attic
application or over a finished ceiling. Failure to follow this
caution will result in minor property damage.

APPLICATIONS

Step 1—General
Some assembly and modifications are required for furnaces
installed in any of the 4 applications shown in Fig. 1. All drain and
pressure tubes are connected as shown in Fig. 6. See appropriate
application instructions for these procedures.
Step 2—Upflow Applications
An upflow furnace application is where furnace blower is located
below combustion and controls section of furnace, and conditioned
air is discharged upwards.
CONDENSATE TRAP LOCATION (FACTORY-SHIPPED
ORIENTATION)
The condensate trap is factory installed in the blower shelf and
factory connected for UPFLOW applications. A factory-supplied
tube is used to extend the condensate trap drain connection to the
desired furnace side for field drain attachment. See Condensate
Trap Tubing (Factory-Shipped Orientation) section for drain tube
extension details. (See Fig. 6.)

NOTE: See Fig. 6 or tube routing label on main furnace door to
confirm location of these tubes.
1. Collector Box Drain, Inducer Housing Drain, Relief Port, and
Pressure Switch Tubes
These tubes are factory attached to the condensate trap and
pressure switch ready for use in UPFLOW applications. These
tubes can be identified by their connection location and also
by a color label on each tube. These tubes are identified as
follows: collector box drain tube (blue label), inducer housing
drain tube (violet label or molded), relief port tube (green
label), and pressure switch tube (pink label).
2. Condensate Trap Drain Tube
The condensate trap drain connection must be extended for
field attachment by doing the following:
a. Determine location of field drain connection. (See Fig. 2 or
6.)
NOTE: If internal filter is used, drain tube should be located to
opposite side of casing from return duct attachment to assist in
filter removal.
b. Remove and discard casing drain hole plug button from
desired side.
