CONDENSATE DRAIN
FOR HORIZONTAL
INSTALLATION
Refer to Figure 33 for Steps 1-4.
This unit is shipped factory ready for
downflow installation. The
condensate trap assembly and drain
hoses require conversion for
horizontal installation. Remove the
existing condensate trap with the unit
in the upright position.
1. Remove the burner compartment
door from the unit.
2. Remove the two screws from the
right side of the furnace jacket
which support the trap mounting
bracket.
Remove the two
B
plastic plugs on either side of the
trap outlet hole and discard.
3. Remove the black molded 90°
hose
from the top of the
Ž
C
existing trap
Ž
and furnace
A
collector box. Cut 1.0 inch from
the long end of the hose. NOTE:
Exception–do not shorten the 90°
hose on the 07B furnace! The
07B has a longer distance
between the collector box and
horizontal drain trap.
4. Remove the double-elbow black
molded hose
from the exhaust
Ž
D
transition
. Discard this hose
Ž
E
and the downflow trap.
NOTE: The following steps should
take place with the furnace in the
horizontal position.
Refer to Figure 34 for Steps 6-11.
5. Locate the parts bag in the
burner compartment. Install two
plastic plugs
‘
in the side of the
F
jacket from bottom side up.
6. Attach the gasket
onto the trap
“
H
assembly so that the gasket
holes on the gasket line up with
the holes on the trap assembly.
7. Fill the trap assembly
’
G
cup of water.
8. Insert the trap assembly with
gasket up through the existing
hole in the jacket and secure
from inside the jacket. Use two
screws provided. Screw down
into the two "ears" molded into
either side of the trap. Snug the
trap assembly against the
furnace jacket compressing the
gasket slightly to eliminate any
air leaks. Do not overtighten!
9. Attach the black molded rubber
90° elbow

end of the rubber elbow to the
spout

the 45° elbow molded into the top
of the trap assembly. Clamp the
hose tight with white nylon clamp.
IMPORTANT: Tighten all clamp
connections with a pair of pliers
and check for leaks after
conversion is complete.
11. IMPORTANT: There are two
options when choosing a height for
the condensate riser:
CONDENSATE OVERFLOW: With
3
a 1
⁄
inch riser installed above the
4
tee, a blocked drain will result in
overflow from the riser.
FURNACE SHUTDOWN: To
cause the furnace to shut down
when a blocked drain is present,
install a riser which is a minimum
1
of 5
⁄
". If the furnace is installed in
2
an attic, crawlspace or other area
where freezing temperatures may
with a
occur, the furnace drain can freeze
while shut off for long periods of
time. Provisions must be made to
prevent freezing of condensate
(see Figure 3).
Use a solvent cement that is
compatible with PVC material.
NOTE: See location requirements and
combustion section for additional
recommendations.

FILLING THE TRAP
FILL THE TRAP ASSEMBLY WITH
9
WATER BEFORE OPERATING THE
FURNACE. Do this by removing the
drain hose from the trap or from the
connection to the secondary coil.
Pour about a cup of water into the
vent trap. Any excess water flows into
the house drain when the trap is full.
NOTE: Fill the trap assembly with
water every heating season.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect into
a common drain line with an air
conditioner evaporator coil drain. A
blocked or restricted drain line can
result in overflow of the coil pan and
negate the furnace blocked drain
shutoff control.
