Condensate Drains - ECR International G95V Installation Manual And Operating Instructions

The furnace may condense as much as a 4½
pounds of water per hour (approximately 2 imperial
quarts, 2½ U.S. quarts or 2¼ liters). It is neces-
sary to make provisions for draining the conden-
sate away. The furnace is supplied with a drain trap
assembly. See Figures 22-25 for possible locations
of the drain trap.
The drain coupling on the inducer will work better
if the drain holes are pointed down about 15 de-
grees. The drain hose supplied with the furnace is
long enough to reach either side panel; however, it
must be cut near the blower division panel. This is
to prevent kinking in the drain lines.
!
CAUTION
The two inlets to the drain trap are for vent
pipe and condensate collection. The vent
pipe inlet is smaller than the condensate col-
lection inlet. Ensure that the drain hoses are
properly connected.
DRAIN HOSE INSTALLATION
1. Select a drain trap location suitable for the
orientation of the furnace and remove the cor-
responding knockouts. See figures 22-25.
2. Affix the drain trap assembly to the exterior
of the side panel when the furnace is upflow or
downflow using two screws provided. For hori-
zontal positions the installer will need to use
the mounting bracket supplied and secure the
bracket to the top panel. Remove two top pan-
el screws and fasten bracket to top panel with
removed screws. Secure trap assembly using
screws provided to the mounting bracket.
3. Slide the short end of the 5/8" formed tube
over the appropriate condensate outlet on the
front manifold cover, and fasten by tightening
the tube clamp approximately ⅛" from the end
of the tube.
4. Cut the formed drain tube to the required
length if necessary, and slide tube over the con-
densate inlet on the drain trap (larger diameter
inlet hole). Fasten by tightening the tube clamp
approximately ⅛" from the end of the tube.
5. Rotate exhauster coupling 15 degrees down-
wards, and remove the yellow cap over the low-
est vent drain outlet. Slide the short end of the

Condensate from the outlet of the drain trap as-
sembly must be conveyed to a floor drain, sump pit,
or, if these are unavailable, to a condensate pump.
If using a condensate pump, be sure that it is ap-
proved for furnace condensate.

½" drain tube on the exhauster coupling drain.
Fasten by tightening the tube clamp approxi-
mately ⅛" from the end of the tube.
6. Cut the formed vent drain tube to the required
length if necessary, and slide over inlet on the
drain trap (smaller diameter inlet hole). Fasten
by tightening the tube clamp approximately ⅛"
from the end of the tube.
7. All drain tubes must slope towards the drain
trap.
!
CAUTION
Ensure that drain hoses do not create traps
prior to the condensate trap assembly. A sec-
ondary trap will cause intermittent operation
due to the pressure switches opening.
DRAIN PIPING
!
CAUTION
Do not drain the condensate outdoors. Do
not run the condensate line through areas
where freezing might occur. Freezing of con-
densate can result in erratic furnace opera-
tion and in property damage.
