Condensate Drain
After removal of drain pan plug(s), check drain hole(s)
to verify that drain opening is fully open and free of any
debris. Also check to make sure that no debris has
fallen into the drain pan during installation that may plug
up the drain opening.
IMPORTANT
Main Drain
Connect the main drain and route downward to drain line
or sump. Do not connect drain to a closed waste system.
See Figure 13 for typical drain trap configuration.
Overflow Drain
It is recommended that the overflow drain is connected to
an overflow drain line for all units. If overflow drain is not
connected, it must be plugged with provided cap.
For downflow orientation, the overflow drain MUST be
connected and routed to a overflow drain line. See Figure

WHEN A COIL IS LOCATED ABOVE A FINISHED SPACE, A

CONNECTED TO SECONDARY DRAIN PAN
OR
CONNECTED TO THE OVERFLOW DRAIN OUTLET OF
THE AIR HANDLER DRAIN PAN.

Best Practices
The following best practices are recommended for the
condensate removal process:
•
Main and overflow drain lines should NOT be smaller
than both drain connections at drain pan.
•
Overflow drain line should run to an area where
homeowner will notice drainage.
