IMPORTANT
1. When making drain fitting connections to the drain pan, use a thin layer of Teflon paste,
silicone or Teflon tape and install, hand tighten.
2. When making drain fitting connections to drain pan, do not overtighten. Over tightening
fittings can split pipe connetions on the drain pan.
• Install drain lines so they do not block service access to front of the unit. Minimum clearance
of 24 inches is required for filter, coil or blower removal and service access.
• Make sure unit is level or pitched slightly toward primary drain connection so that water will
drain completely from the pan. (See Fig. 5)
• Do not reduce drain line size less than connection size provided on condensate drain pan.
• All drain lines must be pitched downward away from the unit a minimum of 1/8" per foot of
line to ensure proper drainage.
• Do not connect condensate drain line to a closed or open sewer pipe. Run condensate to an
open drain or run line to a safe outdoor area.
