Condensate Drain Line
The condensate drain line must always have a downward pitch of 1/8” or more per
foot. Within 12 inches from leaving the evaporator, the drain line requires a trap to
overcome negative pressure. The entire trap must be below the evaporator.
In the trap, the drain line should drop, then rise, and then drop again into an open
drain or a vent tee. Water should be filled in the section of the trap between the first
drop and the rise. Please refer to the drawings below for further detail.
Before putting the unit into service, test for positive drainage by pouring water into
the drain pan and observing flow through to the final drain.
Optional Remote Display and Probe
We offer a remote control display kit that can be installed remotely from the cooling
unit, either inside or outside the cellar (because the temperature probe is not
embedded in the display). We provide 10 feet of 16-guage thermostat wiring
standard; additional length can be requested for a nominal charge, or can be
sourced locally.
We also offer a remote bottle probe with a 10 foot cord (extensions for longer
distances are also available) to override the probe on the face of the cooling unit,
and can be used to measure air or liquid temperatures inside the cellar. The remote
probe is plugged into the cooling unit on one side, and located inside the cellar on
the other side, to accurately measure cellar temperatures when the cooling unit is
located remotely from the cellar, and/or to measure liquid temperatures inside the
cellar.
