WARNING
Failure to install a P-trap will prevent the unit from draining correctly
and may cause numerous other problems, including but not limited
to:
The cooling system shutting off due to high condensation
levels in the internal drain pan
The internal drain pan overflowing
Water damage to wine cellar and/or surrounding areas
Ruination of the customer’s wine collection
Failure to install a P-trap as specified in this manual will
void the warranty.
DRAINAGE
Condensation Drain Line
The condensation drain line tube is used to remove excess condensation from the unit to a proper discharge location.
It is important that the drain line tube be properly connected. The discharge location cannot be a secondary drain
pan. Both condensate drain lines should discharge to different locations, and the secondary drain pan should dis-
charge to an easily accessible and/or conspicuous location so the customer can monitor it.
Drain Line
The Magnum evaporator unit accepts 3/4" CPVC tubing. It is imperative that you use primer and glue to ensure there
is a watertight seal between the tubing and all fittings. All joints and connections should be made in accordance with
the applicable provisions of Chapter VII of the International Plumbing Code (relative to the material type). Condensate
drain line size shall not be less than 3/4-inch (9mm) in
ternal diameter and shall not decrease in size from the drain pan
connection to the place of condensate disposal.
Such piping shall maintain at least a one-percent slope in the direction of discharge (not less than one-eighth of a
vertical inch for every twelve horizontal inches). Condensate shall not discharge into a street, alley, or other areas so as
to cause a nuisance.
P-Trap Required
A P-trap must be connected to the unit to ensure proper drainage of condensation. On the next page is a detailed dia-
gram of how the P-trap should be constructed. The threaded fitting on the end of the tube will allow for easy cleaning
of the drain port, and must be installed using plumber’s tape or equivalent sealant.
