CONDENSATE TRAP
!
CAUTION
FROZEN AND BURST WATER PIPE HAZARD
Failure to protect against the risk of freezing may result in
property damage.
Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an
area which may drop below freezing. This can cause improper
operation or damage to equipment. If furnace environment has
the potential of freezing, the drain trap and drain line must be
protected. The use of accessory drain trap heaters, electric
heat tape and/or RV antifreeze is recommended for these
installations.

CAUTION
PROPERY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in burst water pipes
and/or property damage.
If a condensate pump is installed, a plugged condensate drain
or a failed pump may cause the furnace to shut down. Do not
leave the home unattended during freezing weather without
turning off water supply and draining water pipes or otherwise
protecting against the risk of frozen pipes.
DO NOT trap the drain line in any other location than at the
condensate drain trap supplied with the furnace. If possible, DO
NOT route the drain line where it may freeze. The drain line
must terminate at an inside drain to prevent freezing of the
condensate and possible property damage.
Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an
area which may drop below freezing. This can cause improper
operation or damage to the equipment. If the furnace
environment has the potential of freezing, the drain trap and
drain line must be protected. Use 3 to 6 watt per foot of 115

regulating shielded and water proof heat
tape. Wrap the drain trap and drain line with the heat tape and
secure with the ties. Follow the heat tape manufacturer’s
recommendations. Prime the trap before furnace operation.
Condensate Trap
−
Upflow Orientation
When the furnace is installed in the upflow position, it is not
necessary to relocate the condensate trap or associated
tubing. See
for upflow condensate trap information.
Refer to Condensate Drain section for information how to install
the condensate drain.
Condensate Trap
−
Downflow
Orientation
When the furnace is installed in the downflow position, the
condensate trap will be initially located at the upper left corner
of the collector box, as received from the factory. See the top
image in
. When the furnace is installed in the
downflow orientation, the condensate trap must be relocated
for proper condensate drainage. See bottom image in
.
To Relocate the Condensate Trap:
Orient the furnace in the downflow position.

to begin the trap conversion.
Refer to Condensate Drain section for information how to install
the condensate drain.
