CONDENSATE TRAP FIELD DRAIN ATTACHMENT
Refer to Condensate Drain section for recommendations and
procedures.
PRESSURE SWITCH TUBING
One collector box pressure tube (pink label) is factory connected to
the pressure switch for use when furnace is installed in UPFLOW
applications. This tube MUST be disconnected and used for the
condensate trap relief port tube. The other collector box pressure
tube (green label) which was factory connected to the condensate
trap relief port connection MUST be connected to the pressure
switch in DOWNFLOW or HORIZONTAL RIGHT applications.
NOTE: See Fig. 11 or tube routing label on main furnace door to
check for proper connections.
Relocate tubes as described below.
1. Disconnect collector box pressure tube (pink label) attached to
pressure switch.
2. Extend collector box pressure tube (green label) which was
previously connected to condensate trap relief port connection
by splicing to small diameter tube (factory-supplied in loose
parts bag).
3. Route extended collector box pressure tube behind inducer
motor bracket then between inducer motor and pressure
switch.
4. Connect collector box pressure tube (green label) to pressure
switch connection labeled COLLECTOR BOX.
5. Use remaining smaller diameter tube (factory-supplied in
loose parts bag) to extend collector box pressure tube (pink
label) which was previously connected to pressure switch.

6. Route this extended tube (pink label) to condensate trap relief
port connection.
7. Determine appropriate length, cut, and connect tube.
8. Clamp tube to relief port connection.
CONDENSATE TRAP FREEZE PROTECTION
Refer to Condensate Drain Protection section for recommenda-
tions and procedures.
CONSTRUCT A WORKING PLATFORM
Construct working platform where all required furnace clearances
are met. (See Fig. 3 and 10.)
The condensate trap MUST be installed below furnace. See
Fig. 4 for dimensions. The drain connection to condensate
trap must also be properly sloped to an open drain.
NOTE: Combustion-air and vent pipes are restricted to a mini-
mum length of 5 ft. (See Table 6.)
NOTE: A 12-in. minimum offset pipe section is recommended
with short (5 to 8 ft) vent systems. This recommendation is to
reduce excessive condensate droplets from exiting the vent pipe.
(See Fig. 10 or 28.)
Step 1—General
When a furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air to areas
outside the space containing the furnace, return air must also be
handled by ducts sealed to furnace casing. The ducts terminate
outside the space containing the furnace to ensure there will not be
a negative pressure condition within equipment room or space.
Furnace may be located in a confined space without special
provisions for dilution or ventilation air. This furnace must be
installed so electrical components are protected from water.
