Condensate trap installation
1. Locate the condensate trap kit shipped loose with the
appliance. The kit includes a sheet metal mounting
base, two (2) nuts and the condensate trap.
2. Install the condensate trap mounting base on the rear
of the appliance in the lower left-hand corner as
depicted in FIG. 8-1. Use the pre-drilled holes on the
appliance to secure the mounting base to the appliance.
3. Secure the condensate trap to the base using the two (2)
nuts supplied with the kit. The trap should be oriented
so that the barb connections are pointing toward the
appliance (FIG. 8-1).
4. Use a level to ensure that the condensate trap is level on
its base. Failure to keep the condensate trap level can
result in the spillage of flue products from the
condensate
trap.
5. Locate the two hoses exiting the back of the appliance.
Attach the larger hose on the appliance to the lower
barb connection on the condensate trap. Secure the
hose to the barb with a field supplied hose clamp
(FIG.
8-1).
6. Attach the smaller hose on the unit to the upper barb
connection on the condensate trap. Secure the hose to
the barb connection with a field supplied hose clamp
(FIG.
8-1).
7. Route the 3-pin wiring harness from the condensate
trap to the matching connector on the lower back of
the appliance as shown in FIG. 8-1. This is the blocked
drain safety switch. This switch will shut the appliance
off if the condensate trap becomes too full of liquid.
8. Remove the four (4) screws securing the top cover to
the condensate trap and remove the cover (FIG. 8-1).
9. Locate the plastic ball inside the float tube. Verify there
is nothing under the ball causing it to not seat properly
(FIG.
8-1).
10. Replace the cover.
11. Replace the four (4) screws removed in Step 8.
12. A 1/2" pipe connection is supplied on the condensate
trap. Connect a suitable pipe or tube to this connection
(see FIG. 8-1).

13. Slope the condensate line down and away from the appliance
into a drain or condensate neutralizing filter. Do not expose
the condensate line to freezing temperatures.
Use a level to ensure that the condensate
trap is level on its base. Failure to keep
the condensate trap level can result in the
spillage of flue products from the condensate
trap.
Failure to follow this warning could result
in product damage or improper operation,
personal injury, or death.
WARNING
NOTICE
Use materials approved by the authority
having jurisdiction. In the absence of other
authority, PVC and CPVC pipe must comply
with ASTM D1785 or D2845. Cement and
primer must comply with ASME D2564 or
F493. For Canada use CSA or ULC certified
PVC or CPVC pipe, fittings, and cement.
NOTICE
The condensate line must remain
unobstructed, allowing free flow of
condensate. If condensate is allowed to
freeze in the line or if the line is obstructed in
any other manner, the blocked drain safety
switch will prevent the appliance from firing.
