COLLECTOR BOX DRAIN TUBE
(BLUE AND WHITE STRIPED)
Local codes may require a drain pan under entire furnace and
condensate trap when a condensing furnace is used in attic
application or over a finished ceiling.
NOTE: In Canada, installations shall be in accordance with
current NSCNGPIC Installation Codes and/or local codes.
CONDENSATE TRAP LOCATION
The condensate trap must be removed from the factory-installed
blower shelf location and relocated in selected application location
as shown in Fig. 2 or 11.
To relocate condensate trap from the blower shelf to desired
location, perform the following:
1. Remove 3 tubes connected to condensate trap.
2. Remove trap from blower shelf by gently pushing tabs inward
and rotating trap.
3. Remove casing hole filler cap from casing hole. (See Fig. 2 or
11.)
4. Install casing hole filler cap into blower shelf hole where trap
was removed.
5. Install condensate trap into casing hole by inserting tube
connection stubs through casing hole and rotating until tabs
snap into locking position.
