swimming pool, choose components made from anodized aluminum or other
non-corrosive materials.
If you must install ductwork in an unconditioned area, use fiberglass duct wrap with
vapor barrier facing. You must install the outdoor air intake away from all sources of
airborne contamination such as exhaust fans or plumbing vents. You can use galvanized
sheet metal ducts for most applications. However, you should use aluminum or stainless
steel ducts for extreme applications such as chemical-laden environments.
2.3 Condensate Drain Piping
1. While the supply blower runs, the inside of the dehumidifier operates
at a negative pressure. Your unit requires a p-trap in the condensate
drain pipe to prevent condensate from being drawn into the cabinet of
the dehumidifier, which may lead to premature corrosion and property
damage.
2. Condensate drain lines installed in an unconditioned space must be
heat taped to prevent freezing. Check the heat tape yearly before
winter operation.
You must raise the dehumidifier at least 12 inches above the floor to provide clearance
for the condensate drain connection. You must supply and install a p-trap on the 1-inch
MPT drain line. Pitch the condensate drain line a minimum of 1/4 inch per linear foot,
and support the pipe with code-approved hangers at least every 5 feet. A cleanout tee
or plug may also be required near the trap to facilitate cleanout. When gravity disposal
is not possible, you may use a condensate pump. Follow the pump manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
