To relocate condensate trap from the blower shelf to desired
location, perform the following:
1. Remove 3 tubes connected to condensate trap.
2. Remove trap from blower shelf by gently pushing tabs inward
and rotating trap.
3. Remove casing hole filler cap from casing hole. (See Fig. 2 or
11.)
4. Install casing hole filler cap into blower shelf hole where trap
was removed.
5. Install condensate trap into casing hole by inserting tube
connection stubs through casing hole and rotating until tabs
snap into locking position.
CONDENSATE TRAP TUBING
NOTE: See Fig. 11 or tube routing label on main furnace door to
check for proper connections.
1. Collector Box Drain Tube
a. Remove factory-installed plug from LOWER collector box
drain tube (blue and white striped label).
b. Install removed clamp and plug into UPPER collector box
drain tube (blue label) which was previously connected to
condensate trap.
c. Connect LOWER collector box drain tube (blue and white
striped label) to condensate trap. Tube does not need to be
cut.
d. Clamp tube to prevent any condensate leakage.
2. Inducer Housing Drain Tube
a. Remove factory-installed cap and clamp from LOWER
inducer housing drain connection.

trap.
c. Install cap and clamp on UPPER inducer housing drain
connection where molded drain tube was removed.
d. Use inducer housing drain extension tube (violet label and
factory-supplied in loose parts bag) to connect LOWER
inducer housing drain connection to condensate trap.
e. Determine appropriate length, cut, and connect tube to
condensate trap.
f. Clamp tube to prevent any condensate leakage.
3. Relief Port Tube
Refer to Pressure Switch Tubing section for connection
procedure.

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.
