A. Condensate Removal System
This appliance will create condensate. The condensate
must be piped directly to a drain via approved piping or
with a condensate pump. The condensate drain is located
on the lower right side of the appliance. See Figure 11.1.
Drain pipe and
fi
ttings must conform to ANSI standards
and ASTM D1785, D2466 or D2846. CPVC or PVC ce-
ment must conform to ASTM D2564 or F493. Primer
must conform to ASTM F656. In Canada, use CSA or
ULC certi
fi
ed schedule 40 CPVC or ULC ceri
fi
ed sched-
ule 40 CPVC or PVC drain pipe,
fi
ttings and cement.
The condensate drainage system and pump use gravity
and should be located lower than the discharge location
on the appliance. The condensate must be drained
ef
fi
ciently in order for the appliance to operate at peak
performance.
CAUTION! Risk of Injury!
• Remove any excess condensate or spillage immedi-
ately to avoid slips and falls.
• Do not allow condensate to come into contact with
mouth or eyes.
If a condensate pump will be used with the appliance, it is
recommended that the pump meet these criteria:
• The pump has a safety switch that will not allow the ap-
pliance to operate in the event of a power failure.
• The pump is approved for condensate producing appli-
ances and have a safety switch.

CAUTION! Risk of Injury!
• Condensate pump should be located as close to
the appliance as possible for ef
fi
cient removal of
condensate.
Furnace condensate is mildly acidic and may be corrosive.
A pH neutralizing
fi
lter may be needed. Check with local
authorities if this type of
fi
lter is required.
An access panel is located on the right side of the appli-
ance. This panel is for servicing the condensate system
after appliance installation. The removal of
fi
ve screws is
required to remove the panel. See Figure 11.1.
B. Winterizing Condensate Removal System
NOTICE:
The appliance must be winterized if the
appliance is subjected to ambient temperatures of 32ºF
(0ºC) or lower if left idle.
Some water will accumulate in the heat exchanger as a
result of the heat transfer process. To winterize your ap-
pliance:
1. Turn off gas supply to valve. Red gas shutoff knob is
located on ball valve.
2. Disconnect electrical supply to the appliance.
3. Disengage
fi
rebox from outer shell approximately 12
inches. Adjust support wheels and/or provide addition-
al support if necessary. See Section 16.D and 16.E.
4. Remove upper inducer tube from inducer housing.
See Figure 11.2.
