Notes:
* Use condensate pump rated for 212 °F (100 °C) and suitable for lifting 250 gph (16 L/m)
at required head (60 kPa). Stainless steel condensate pump recommended when pumping
condensate from systems using optional stainless steel components.
• If wasting condensate to drain, temper condensate to local code to prevent damage to drain
plumbing.
• Dashed lines indicate provided by installer.
