Downflow Applications - Carrier 58MCA Installation, Start-Up, And Operating Instructions Manual

NOTE: Failure to use CPVC elbows may allow drain to kink and
prevent draining.
f. Connect larger diameter drain tube and clamp (factory-
supplied in loose parts bag) to condensate trap and clamp
securely.
g. Route tube to coupling and cut to appropriate length.
h. Attach tube to coupling and clamp securely.
CONDENSATE TRAP LOCATION (ALTERNATE UPFLOW
ORIENTATION)
An alternate location for the condensate trap is the left-hand side
of casing. (See Fig. 2 and 7.)
NOTE: If the alternate left-hand side of casing location is used,
the factory-connected drain and relief port tubes must be discon-
nected and modified for attachment. See Condensate Trap Tubing
(Alternate Upflow Orientation) section for tubing attachment.
To relocate condensate trap to the left-hand side, 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. Install casing hole filler cap (factory-supplied in loose parts
bag) into blower shelf hole where trap was removed.
→
Casing hole filler cap must be installed in blower shelf hole
when condensate trap is relocated. Failure to follow this
warning could result in electrical shock, fire, personal injury
or death.
4. Install condensate trap into left-hand side casing hole by
inserting tube connection stubs through casing hole and
rotating until tabs snap into locking position.
5. Fill unused condensate trap casing holes with plastic filler
caps (factory-supplied in loose parts bag).
CONDENSATE TRAP TUBING (ALTERNATE UPFLOW
ORIENTATION)
NOTE: See Fig. 7 or tube routing label on main furnace door to
confirm location of these tubes.
1. Collector Box Drain Tube
Connect collector box drain tube (blue label) to condensate
trap.
NOTE: On 17-1/2-in. wide furnaces ONLY, cut tube between
corrugated sections to prevent kinks from occurring.
2. Inducer Housing Drain Tube
a. Remove and discard LOWER (molded) inducer housing
drain tube which was previously connected to condensate
trap.
b. Use inducer housing drain extension tube (violet label and
factory-supplied in loose parts bag) to connect LOWER
inducer housing drain connection to the condensate trap.
c. Determine appropriate length, cut, and connect tube.
d. Clamp tube to prevent any condensate leakage.
3. Relief Port Tube
a. Connect relief port tube (green label) to condensate trap.
b. Extend this tube (if required) by splicing to small diameter
tube (factory-supplied in loose parts bag).
c. Determine appropriate length, cut, and connect tube.
CONDENSATE TRAP FIELD DRAIN ATTACHMENT
Refer to Condensate Drain section for recommendations and
procedures.
PRESSURE SWITCH TUBING
The LOWER collector box pressure tube (pink label) is factory
connected to the pressure switch and should not require any
modification.
NOTE: See Fig. 6 or 7 or tube routing label on main furnace door
to check for proper connections.
UPPER COLLECTOR BOX AND INDUCER HOUSING
(UNUSED) DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Upper Collector Box Drain Connection
Attached to the UPPER collector box drain connection is a
factory-installed corrugated, plugged tube (blue and white striped
label). This tube is plugged to prevent condensate leakage in this
application. Ensure this tube is plugged.
NOTE: See Fig. 6 or 7 or tube routing label on main furnace door
to check for proper connections.
Upper Inducer Housing Drain Connection
Attached to the UPPER (unused) inducer housing drain connection
is a cap and clamp. This cap is used to prevent condensate leakage
in this application. Ensure this connection is capped.
NOTE: See Fig. 6 or 7 or tube routing label on main furnace door
to check for proper connections.
CONDENSATE TRAP FREEZE PROTECTION
Refer to Condensate Drain Protection section for recommenda-
tions and procedures.
Step 3—Downflow Applications
A downflow furnace application is where furnace blower is located
above combustion and controls section of furnace, and conditioned
air is discharged downwards.
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, 8, or 9.
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. Install casing hole filler cap (factory-supplied in loose parts
bag) into blower shelf hole where trap was removed.
→
Casing hole filler cap must be installed in blower shelf hole
when condensate trap is relocated. Failure to follow this
warning could result in electrical shock, fire, personal injury
or death.
4. Install condensate trap into desired casing hole by inserting
tube connection stubs through casing hole and rotating until
tabs snap into locking position.
5. Fill unused condensate trap casing holes with plastic filler
caps (factory-supplied in loose parts bag).
