The air handler is provided with ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) NPT condensate
drain connections.
A field-fabricated secondary drain pan, with a drainpipe to the
outside of the building, is required in all installations over a
finished living space or in any area that may be damaged by
overflow from the main drain pan. In some localities, local codes
A B C
may require a secondary drain pan for any horizontal installation.
Make sure the air handler is level so that the drain pan will empty

of the trap is below the connection to the drain pan to allow
complete drainage of the pan.
NOTE: Horizontal runs must also have an anti-siphon air vent
(standpipe) installed ahead of the horizontal run. See "Typical
Condensate Drain Connection" in this section. An extremely
long horizontal run may require an oversized drain line to
eliminate the trapping of air.
