VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator
Condensate Drain Trap
This unit is equipped with a stainless steel condensate
pan with a 1-inch MPT stainless steel drain connection.
It is important that the drain connection be fitted with a
P trap to ensure proper drainage of condensate while
maintaining internal static pressures.
A P trap assembly (kit) is
supplied with each unit and is
to be assembled and installed
as local conditions require and
according to the assembly
instructions provided with
the P trap. If local and area
codes permit, the condensate
may be drained back onto the
roof, but a drip pad should be
provided beneath the outlet. If local and area codes
require a permanent drain line, it should be fabricated
and installed in accordance with Best Practices and all
codes.
In some climates, it will be necessary to provide freeze
protection for the P trap and drain line. The P trap
should be kept filled with water or glycol solution at
all times and it should be protected from freezing to
protect the P trap from damage. If severe weather
conditions occur, it may be necessary to fabricate a P
trap and drain line of metal and install a heat tape to
prevent freezing.
