Drain lines are recommended for installations in warm and/or humid environments;
however, the drain line does not replace the requirement for a cellar to be properly
constructed with proper insulation, moisture barrier and airtight seals.
When using a drain line, you must create a condensate trap as follows:
As shown above, the drain line should drop, then rise (but stay below the height of the
fitting), and then drop again, and must terminate in air, not liquid After installing the
trap, it must be charged with water as shown.
If your unit generates excess condensate and you don't have a drain line, or you have
a drain line but no trap, the condensate may leak out of the front or bottom of the
cooling unit, and cause damage inside your walls or your cellar.
