b. Use inducer housing drain extension tube (violet label and
factory-supplied in loose parts bag) to connect LOWER
inducer housing drain connection to the condensate trap.
c. Determine appropriate length, cut, and connect tube.
d. Clamp tube to prevent any condensate leakage.
3. Relief Port Tube
a. Extend collector box tube (green label) which was previ-
ously connected to the condensate trap by splicing to small
diameter tube (factory-supplied in loose parts bag).
b. Route extended collector box pressure tube to relief port
connection on the condensate trap.
c. Determine appropriate length, cut, and connect tube.
d. Clamp tube to prevent any condensate leakage.
CONDENSATE TRAP FIELD DRAIN ATTACHMENTS
Refer to Condensate Drain section for recommendations and
procedures.
PRESSURE SWITCH TUBING
The LOWER collector box pressure tube (pink label) is factory
connected to the pressure switch for use when furnace is installed
in UPFLOW applications. This tube MUST be disconnected,
extended, rerouted, and then reconnected to the pressure switch in
HORIZONTAL LEFT applications.
NOTE: See Fig. 10 or tube routing label on main furnace door to
check for proper connections.
Modify tube as described below.
1. Disconnect collector box pressure tube (pink label) attached to
pressure switch.
2. Use smaller diameter tube (factory-supplied in loose parts
bag) to extend tube disconnected in item 1.
3. Route extended tube:
a. Behind inducer housing.
b. Between blower shelf and inducer housing.
c. Behind inducer motor bracket.
d. Between inducer motor and pressure switch.
4. Determine appropriate length, cut, and reconnect tube to
pressure switch connection labeled COLLECTOR BOX.
CONDENSATE TRAP FREEZE PROTECTION
Refer to Condensate Drain Protection section for recommenda-
tions and procedures.
CONSTRUCT A WORKING PLATFORM
Construct working platform where all required furnace clearances
are met. (See Fig. 3 and 11.)
UNIT MAY NOT OPERATE
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit
operation.
The condensate trap MUST be installed below furnace. See
Fig. 5 for dimensions. The drain connection to condensate
trap must also be properly sloped to an open drain.
NOTE: Combustion-air and vent pipes are restricted to a mini-
mum length of 5 ft. (See Table 7.)
NOTE: A 12-in. minimum offset pipe section is recommended
with short (5 to 8 ft) vent systems. This recommendation is to
reduce excessive condensate droplets from exiting the vent pipe.
(See Fig. 11 or 34.)
Step 5—Horizontal Right (Supply-Air Discharge)
Applications
A horizontal right furnace application is where furnace blower is
located to the left of combustion and controls section of furnace,
and conditioned air is discharged to the right.
PROPERTY DAMAGE
Failure to follow this caution may result in minor property
damage.
Local codes may require a drain pan under entire furnace and
condensate trap when a condensing furnace is used in attic
application or over a finished ceiling.
NOTE: In Canada, installations shall be in accordance with
current NSCNGPIC Installation Codes and/or local codes.
NOTE: The junction box (J-Box) MUST be relocated to opposite
side of furnace casing. (See Fig. 12.) See Electrical Connection
section for J-Box relocation.
CONDENSATE TRAP LOCATION
The condensate trap must be removed from the factory-installed
blower shelf location and relocated in selected application location
as shown in Fig. 2 or 12.
To relocate condensate trap from the blower shelf to desired
location, perform the following:
1. Remove 3 tubes connected to condensate trap.
2. Remove trap from blower shelf by gently pushing tabs inward
and rotating trap.
3. Install casing hole filler cap (factory-supplied in loose parts
bag) into blower shelf hole where trap was removed.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Casing hole filler cap must be installed in blower shelf when
condensate trap is relocated.
4. Install condensate trap into left-hand side casing hole by
inserting tube connection stubs through casing hole and
rotating until tabs snap into locking position.
5. Fill unused condensate trap casing holes with plastic filler
caps (factory-supplied in loose parts bag).
CONDENSATE TRAP TUBING
NOTE: See Fig. 12 or tube routing label on main furnace door to
check for proper connections.
1. Collector Box Drain Tube
a. Remove factory-installed plug from LOWER collector box
drain tube (blue and white striped label).
b. Install removed clamp and plug into UPPER collector box
drain tube (blue label) which was previously connected to
condensate trap.
c. Connect LOWER collector box drain tube (blue and white
striped label) to condensate trap. Tube does not need to be
cut.
d. Clamp tube to prevent any condensate leakage.
2. Inducer Housing Drain Tube
a. Remove factory-installed cap and clamp from LOWER
inducer housing drain connection.
