Specifications subject to change without notice.
10. Align the ”Z” pipe with the long end of the grommet inside
the furnace and insert slightly. The angled end of the
tube at the other side of the casing should be facing the
front of the furnace.
11. Slide a spring clamp over the end of the remaining
rubber drain tube.
12. Attach the drain tube to the angled end of ”Z” pipe and
the drain trap outlet stub. Adjust the length of ”Z” pipe
inserted into the grommet at the opposite side of the
furnace as necessary for proper fit and positioning. In
both upflow and downflow orientations, the ”Z” pipe
should NOT be resting on any sheet metal parts.
13. Secure the rubber elbow to the drain trap and the ”Z”
pipe with spring clamps.
14. Secure the grommet to the ”Z” pipe with the spring
clamp.
The remaining drain line can be constructed from field supplied
1/2
−
in. CPVC or 3/4
−
in. PVC pipe, in compliance with local
building codes. A factory
−
supplied 1/2
−
in. CPVC to 3/4
−
in.
PVC adapter is supplied in the loose parts bag for use as
required.
15. Install the adapter or connect the 1/2
−
in. CPVC pipe by
sliding a spring clamp over the open end of the grommet
on the outside the furnace casing.
16. Open the spring clamp and insert the long end of the
adapter or the 1/2
−
in. CPVC pipe into the outlet stub on
the drain tube.
17. Connect additional condensate piping to a
code
−
approved drain, or to a condensate pump
approved for use with acidic furnace condensate and
compatible with mineral and vegetable oils, such as
canola oil.
Allow at least 1/4-in. per foot (20 mm per meter) of slope down
and away from the furnace in horizontal sections of drain line.
NOTICE
The field-supplied, accessory horizontal drain trap grommet
is ONLY REQUIRED FOR DIRECT VENT APPLICATIONS. It
is NOT required for applications using single-pipe or ventil-
ated combustion air venting.
TIPS FROM CONTRACTORS:
When installing the furnace
horizontally, use the entire drain elbow (that is, do NOT cut as
shown in
Figure 13
) to connect the trap to the drain line. This
helps to prevent bumps and shocks to the drain line from
damaging the furnace drain trap. Avoid misalignment of the
drain pipe which may cause kinks in the elbow.
Horizontal Orientation
1. The condensate trap outlet extends 2
−
in. (51 mm) below
the furnace casing. Leave enough clearance between
the furnace and the furnace platform for the trap.
2. To allow for servicing the trap, the condensate drain
elbow in the loose parts bag can be used to make a
coupler to allow for future service of the condensate trap
and drain line.
3. Remove the knock
−
out for the condensate trap in the
side of the casing.
4. Install the drain trap grommet in the casing, if required for
direct
−
vent applications. If necessary, remove the trap,
install the grommet and re
−
install the trap.
5. Remove the pre
−
formed rubber drain tube and two
spring clamps from the loose parts bag.
6. Connect the full or modified elbow and/or grommet to the
outlet of the condensate trap with one spring clamp.
Avoid misalignment of the drain pipe which may cause
kinks in the elbow or grommet.
7. The remaining drain line can be constructed from field
supplied 1/2
−
in. CPVC or 3/4
−
in. PVC pipe, in
compliance with local building codes. A factory
−
supplied
1/2
−
in. CPVC to 3/4
−
in. PVC adapter is supplied in the
loose parts bag for use as required.
8. Install the adapter or connect the 1/2
−
in. CPVC pipe by
sliding a spring clamp over the open end of the elbow or
grommet on the outside the furnace casing.
9. Open the spring clamp and insert the long end of the
adapter or the 1/2
−
in. CPVC pipe into the outlet stub on
the drain tube.
10. Connect additional condensate piping to a
code
−
approved drain, or to a condensate pump
approved for use with acidic furnace condensate and
compatible with mineral and vegetable oils, such as
canola oil.
Allow at least 1/4-in. per foot (20 mm per meter) of slope down
and away from the furnace in horizontal sections of drain line.

CAUTION
CUT HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Sheet metal parts may have sharp edges or burrs. Use care
and wear appropriate protective clothing, safety glasses and
gloves when handling parts, and servicing furnaces.
