Drain Pan Installation
Figure 7
Drain Connection
and Location
CAUTION:
THE ACCESSORY DRAIN PAN (VPDP1) MUST BE
INSTALLED BEFORE INSTALLING THE UNIT.
1. The accessory drain pan has two (2) provisions (left & right)
for connecting an external condensate drain.
2. A field supplied condensate drain system must be connected
to one of the two 3/4" FPT connections.
3. The remaining connection must be plugged using the 3/4"
pipe plug (provided) and field suppled teflon tape or pipe
joint compound.
4. Failure to follow these procedures may result in serious
property damage.
5. This is the primary drain pan. A field supplied secondary
condensate pan may be applied. Check with local codes.
Condensate Disposal System
The VPDP1 drain pan features two ¾ female PVC fittings to at
-
tach a drain connection to on the left or right side of the drain pan.
Condensate piping can be routed to the left, right or beneath the
unit platform.
See drain pan installation manual for more information.
Part 1:
The system’s first stage increases energy efficiency
utilizing a factory installed fan that slings the cold
condensate onto the hot outdoor coil.
Part 2:
When high outdoor humidity prevents the slinger
from disposing of all the condensate, the excess
condensate overflows into the condensate drain pan
and out of the ¾" internal drain connections.
Part 3:
If Parts 1 & 2 fail for any reason, excess condensate
overflows from a spillway directly into the wall plenum
to the outside of the building.
IF THIS OCCURS,
THIS IS A WARNING THAT THE CHASSIS OR
DRAIN NEEDS SERVICING.
