Condensate Drain Piping; Air Filters - Trane 4WHC3036 Installer's Manual

Condensate Drain Piping

A 3/4-inch female NPT condensate drain connection is provided on the evapo-
rator access panel end of the unit. Provide a trap and fill it with water before
starting the unit to avoid air from being drawn through. Follow local codes and
standard piping practices when running the drain line. Pitch the line downward
away from the unit. Avoid long horizontal runs. See Figure 5, below.
NOTE: Do not use reducing fittings in the drain lines
The condensate drain must be:
• Made of 3/4" pipe size.
• Pitched 1/4" per foot to provide free drainage to conve
nient drain system.
• Trapped.
• Must not be connected to a closed drain system unless
the trap is properly vented.

Air Filters

These units require filters with adequate filter area be provided in the return air
duct. Table 2 below gives filter data. The specific location of the filters depends
on the type of installation and the layout of the duct system. Be sure the owner
is aware of the location of the filter and the need to change them as required.
The Filter Size (Sq. Ft.) are based on 300 F.P.M. face velocity. If permanent
filters are used, size per mfg. recommendation with clean resistance of .05" WC.
