Condensate Drain Connection - Carrier F96CTN Installation, Start-Up, Operating, Service And Maintenance Instructions

F96CTN and G96CTN (Series A): Installation, Start-up, Operating, Service and Maintenance Instructions
!
The field-supplied, accessory horizontal drain trap grommet is ONLY
REQUIRED FOR DIRECT VENT APPLICATIONS. It it NOT
required for applications using single-pipe or ventilated combustion air
venting.
!
The condensate trap extends below the side of the casing in the
horizontal position. A minimum of 2-in. (51 mm) of clearance is
required between the casing side and the furnace platform for the trap to
extend out of the casing in the horizontal position. Allow at least 1/4-in.
per foot (20 mm per meter) of slope down.
Fig. 12 – Example of Field Drain Attachment
To Relocate the Condensate Trap:
• Remove the knockout in the casing for the condensate trap.
• Install the grommet in the casing when required for direct-vent
horizontal applications.
• Orient the furnace in the desired position.
• Allow for 2 in. (51 mm) of clearance underneath the furnace for the
condensate trap and drain line.
• Fig. 10 shows the condensate trap and tubing before and after
relocation in the horizontal right position.
• Fig. 11 shows the condensate trap and tubing before and after
relocation in the horizontal left position.
• Refer to the appropriate figure to begin the trap conversion.
• Refer to Condensate Drain section for information how to install the
condensate drain.

CONDENSATE DRAIN CONNECTION

PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in burst water pipes and/or
property damage.
If a condensate pump is installed, a plugged condensate drain or a failed
pump may cause the furnace to shut down. Do not leave the home
unattended during freezing weather without turning off water supply
and draining water pipes or otherwise protecting against the risk of
frozen pipes.

FROZEN AND BURST WATER PIPE HAZARD
Failure to protect against the risk of freezing may result in property
damage.
Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an area
which may drop below freezing. This can cause improper operation or
damage to equipment. If furnace environment has the potential of
freezing the drain trap and drain line must be protected. The use of
accessory drain trap heaters, electric heat tape and/or TRV antifreeze is
required for these installations.
DO NOT trap the drain line in any other location than at the condensate
drain trap supplied with the furnace. If possible, DO NOT route the drain
line where it may freeze. The drain line must terminate at an inside drain
to prevent freezing of the condensate and possible property damage.
Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an area
which may drop below 32° F (0°C). This can cause improper operation
or damage to the equipment. If the furnace environment has the potential
of freezing, the drain trap and drain line must be protected. In areas
where the temperature may be below 32°F (0°C), a Condensate Freeze
Protection kit is required. The kit includes a condensate trap with heat
