Condensate Drain
The air handler should be pitched approximately
1/4” towards the drain in both directions, to
facilitate condensate removal. A drain line must be
connected to the air handler and pitched away
from the unit a minimum of 1/8” per foot to allow
the condensate to flow away from the unit. This
connection must be in conformance with local
plumbing codes.
A trap must be installed in the condensate line to
ensure free flow of the condensate. A vertical air
vent is sometimes required to avoid air pockets.
See Fig. 9. The length of the trap depends on the
amount of positive or negative pressure on the
drain pan.
