Step 9 — Units with Hinged Panels Only

Step 10 — Install External Condensate Trap and
Line
The unit has one 3 /
4
-in. condensate drain connection on the end of
the condensate pan and an alternate connection on the bottom. See
Fig. 20. Unit airflow configuration does not determine which
drain connection to use. Either drain connection can be used with
vertical or horizontal applications.
When using the standard side drain connection, ensure that the red
plug in the alternate bottom connection is tight. Do this before set-
ting the unit in place. The red drain pan plug can be tightened with
a 1 /
2
-in. square socket drive extension.
To use the alternate bottom drain connection, remove the red
drain plug from the bottom connection (use a 1 /
2
-in. square sock-
et drive extension) and install it in the side drain connection.
The piping for the condensate drain and external trap can be com-
pleted after the unit is in place. See Fig. 21.
