Mist Eliminator Service - Bard Q-TEC Series Literature Assembly

The rear drain can be used with wall thickness of up to
10 inches where a water trap can be installed between
the unit and the interior wall (see Figure 8B). The trap
cannot extend beyond the edge of the unit or it will
interfere with the wall mounting bracket. The drain
can be routed through the floor or through the wall. If
the drain is routed through the wall, the drain line must
be positioned such that it will not interfere with the
sleeve flange or the grille (see Figure 8C). If the drain
is to be routed through an unconditioned space, it must
be protected from freezing.

MIST ELIMINATOR SERVICE

(Optional – only used with one of the
vent options)
A mist eliminator is supplied with the wall sleeve. The
mist eliminator is constructed of aluminum frame and
mesh. The mist eliminator is located in the top section
of the wall sleeve and can be removed from the inside
of the building without removing the unit from the wall.
This requires that the ventilation package must be
removed.
The steps necessary to remove each of the vent options
are listed following.
It is recommended that the mist eliminator be
inspected annually and serviced as required. The mist
eliminator can be inspected from the outside of the
building by looking through the outdoor grille. The
