Condensate and Water Connection

Condensate Piping
Pitch the unit toward the drain as shown in Figure 5 to
improve the condensate drainage. On small units (less
than 2.5 tons/8.8 kW), insure that unit pitch does not cause
condensate leaks inside the cabinet.
Install condensate trap at each unit with the top of the trap
positioned below the unit condensate drain connection as
shown in Figure 9. Design the depth of the trap (water-
seal) based upon the amount of External Static Pressure
(ESP) capability of the blower (where 2 inches [51mm] of
ESP capability requires 2 inches [51mm] of trap depth). As a
general rule, 1-1/2 inch [38mm] trap depth is the minimum.
Each unit must be installed with its own individual trap and
connection to the condensate line (main) or riser. Provide
a means to flush or blow out the condensate line. DO NOT
install units with a common trap and/or vent.
Always vent the condensate line when dirt or air can collect
in the line or a long horizontal drain line is required. Also vent
when large units are working against higher external static
pressure than other units connected to the same condensate
main since this may cause poor drainage for all units on
the line. WHEN A VENT IS INSTALLED IN THE DRAIN
LINE, IT MUST BE LOCATED AFTER THE TRAP IN THE
DIRECTION OF THE CONDENSATE FLOW.

Water Connections
Swivel piping fittings are used for water connections that
are rated for 450 psi (3101 kPa) operating pressure. The
connections have a rubber gasket seal similar to a garden
hose gasket, which when mated to the flush end of most 1"
threaded male pipe fittings provides a leak-free seal without
the need for thread sealing tape or joint compound. Check
for burrs and ensure that the rubber seal is in the swivel
connector prior to attempting any connection (rubber seals
are shipped attached to the swivel connector). DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN or leaks may occur.
The female locking ring is threaded onto the pipe threads
which holds the male pipe end against the rubber gasket,
and seals the joint. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY! DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN!

WARNING! Polyolester Oil, commonly known as POE oil, is
a synthetic oil used in many refrigeration systems including
those with HFC-410A refrigerant. POE oil, if it ever comes
in contact with PVC or CPVC piping, may cause failure of
the PVC/CPVC. PVC/CPVC piping should never be used
as supply or return water piping with water source heat
pump products containing HFC-410A as system failures and
property damage may result.
