Nortec SAM-e Installation | 40
Atmospheric Nortec SAM-e Condensate Drainage
1 Nortec SAM-e condensate outlet connection is male 3/4”-NPT.
2 Condensate from Nortec SAM-e must be plumbed to a P-trap. Trap must have center-to-
center height of at least 8”, or 2” more than duct static pressure, whichever is greater.
Refer to typical installation drawings.
3 Condensate from P-trap should drain into a funnel with air-gap prior to entering building
drain.
4 Condensate exits at 212°F (100°C). Local codes may require use of a drain water
cooler (part number 1710020 - electronic drain water cooler or 1710010 – self-actuated
drain water cooler). Refer to installation manual that accompanies drain water cooler for
plumbing details.
5 When collecting condensate, ensure that each device has an air-gap prior to entering the
condensate collection system. Failing to incorporate an air-gap may cause backpressure
on Nortec SAM-e and result in poor performance.
6 Some humidifiers allow distributor condensate to be returned to the unit. Refer to
humidifier manual for details.
7 For systems using condensate pumps, a P-trap and air-gap are still required at Nortec
SAM-e outlet. Never connect Nortec SAM-e directly to a pressurized drain line.
