3. Connect collector box pressure tube (green label) to pressure
switch connection labeled COLLECTOR BOX.
4. Extend collector box pressure tube (pink label) which was
previously connected to pressure switch by splicing to remain-
ing small diameter tube (factory-supplied in loose parts bag).
5. Route this extended tube (pink label) to condensate trap relief
port connection.
6. Determine appropriate length, cut, and connect tube.
7. Clamp tube to relief port connection.

CONDENSATE TRAP FREEZE PROTECTION

Refer to Condensate Drain Protection section for recommenda-
tions and procedures.
Step 4—Horizontal Left (Supply-Air Discharge)
Applications
A horizontal left furnace application is where furnace blower is
located to the right of combustion and controls section of furnace,
and conditioned air is discharged to the left.

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 10.
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.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Casing filler cap must be installed in blower shelf hole when
condensate trap is relocated.
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

NOTE: See Fig. 10 or tube routing label on main furnace door to
check for proper connections.
1. Collector Box Drain Tube
a. Install drain tube coupling (factory-supplied in loose parts
bag) into collector box drain tube (blue label) which was
previously connected to condensate trap.
b. Connect large diameter drain tube and clamp (factory-
supplied in loose parts bag) to drain tube coupling, extend-
ing collector box drain tube.
c. Route extended tube (blue label) to condensate trap and cut
to appropriate length.
d. Clamp tube to prevent any condensate leakage.
2. Inducer Housing Drain Tube
a. Remove and discard LOWER (molded) inducer housing
drain tube which was previously connected to condensate
trap.
