Step 10 — Install External Condensate 

Trap and Line

The unit has one 3/4 in. condensate drain connection on the end of
the condensate pan and an alternate connection on the bottom.
(See Fig. 18.) Unit airflow configuration does not determine
which drain connection to use. Either drain connection can be
used with vertical or horizontal applications.

To use the alternate bottom drain connection, remove the red
drain plug from the bottom connection (use a 1/2 in. square
socket drive extension) and install it in the side drain connection.
The piping for the condensate drain and external trap can be com-
pleted after the unit is in place. See Fig. 19.
All units must have an external trap for condensate drainage. In-
stall a trap at least 4 in. (102 mm) deep and protect against
freeze-up. If drain line is installed downstream from the external
trap, pitch the line away from the unit at 1 in. per 10 ft (25 mm in
3 m) of run. Do not use a pipe size smaller than the unit connec-
tion (3/4 in.).

NOTE: Trap should be deep enough to offset maximum unit static
