Evaporator Coil Using a Separate Drain

Evaporator Coil Using a Common Drain
Condensate line must slope downward away from the trap
to drain. If drain level is above condensate trap, condensate
pump must be used. Condensate drain line should be routed
within the conditioned space to avoid freezing of condensate
and blockage of drain line. If this is not possible, a heat
cable kit may be used on the condensate trap and line.
Heating cable kit is available in various lengths; 6 ft. (1.8
m) - kit no. 26K68; 24 ft. (7.3 m) - kit no. 26K69; and 50 ft.
(15.2 m) - kit no. 26K70.
When combining the furnace and evaporator coil
drains together, the A/C condensate drain outlet
must be vented to relieve pressure in order for the
furnace pressure switch to operate properly.
