Field Supplied Drain
Drain the furnace and air conditioning coil if applicable,
in compliance with code requirements. In horizontal or
counterflow installations, a field installed rubber coupling
will allow the drain trap to be removed for cleaning. The
drain trap must be primed before initial furnace start up.
When an air conditioning coil drain is connected to the
field supplied furnace drain, it must be vented. An open
tee must be installed at a height no higher than the bottom
of the furnace collector box to prevent air conditioning
condensate from backing up into the furnace, if the
common drain was blocked.
Upflow Model Installed Vertically
The trap and factory installed hoses remain as shipped.
The furnace drain may exit either the right or left side of
the furnace cabinet. Both sides of the cabinet have two
.875” diameter holes which can be used interchangeably
for drain and low voltage wiring purposes. If a higher drain
exit is needed, a .875” diameter hole may be added in the
area shown in Figure 24. Any unused cabinet opening
must be sealed. Do not allow drain hose to sag or trap
water.
