CONDENSATE DRAIN LINES & DRAIN
A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level
of efficiency by extracting heat from the products of
combustion to the point where condensation takes place.
The condensate must be collected in the furnace drain trap
and routed to an appropriate drain location in compliance
with local and national codes.
Follow the bullets listed below when installing the drain
system. Refer to the following sections for specific details
concerning furnace drain trap installation and drain hose
hook ups.
• The drain trap supplied with the furnace must be
used.
• The drain trap must be primed at time of installation.
• The drain line between furnace and drain location
must meet local and nation codes.
• The drain line between furnace and drain location
must maintain a 1/4 inch per foot downward slope
toward the drain.
• Do not trap the drain line in any other location than at
the drain trap supplied with the furnace.
• If the drain line is routed through an area which may
see temperatures near or below freezing, precautions
must be taken to prevent condensate from freezing
within the drain line.
