CONDENSATE DRAIN CONNECTION
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 required for these
installations.
CAUTION
!
PROPERTY 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.
CAUTION
!
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 32_ F(0_ C). 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. In areas where the temperature may be below 32_ F(0_
C), a Condensate Freeze Protection kit is required. The kit
includes a condensate trap with heat pad and replaces the
factory-- installed condensate trap. Refer to the Accessory section
of the Specification for current kit number. A self--regulating,
shielded and waterproof heat tape rated at 3 to 6 watt per foot (10
to 20 watt per meter) at 115 volt, 40_F(4_C)maybeusedto
provide freeze protection of the remaining condensate drain line.
Wrap the drain trap and drain line with the heat tape and secure
with appropriate plastic ties. Follow the heat tape manufacturer’s
recommendations. Prime the trap before furnace operation.
The condensate drain line must be supported and/or secured per
local codes. Supports and clamps should be spaced to prevent the
drain line from sagging or being dislocated from the furnace or
termination point. In the absence of local codes, consult the current
edition of the National Standard Plumbing Code, in the U.S. or the
current edition of the National Plumbing Code of Canada.
