REVERSING THE TRAP
1. UPFLOW UNITS
The trap may be moved to the right
side for right side drainage. Open the
knockout for the drain on the right
side of the cabinet. Remove the
bracket holding the trap from the left
side. Seal the left side drain hole with
a plug provided in the cloth bag with
the furnace. Position the mounting
bracket and trap so that the drain
elbow is centered in the hole on the
right.
Drill two holes in the cabinet to
mount the bracket. Mount the trap
and bracket to the right side with the
drain elbow pointing through the
knockout. Connect the 1/2" pipe and
tee as noted above. Route the drain
hoses as shown in Figure 52, cut to
the appropriate length, and connect
to the trap with hose clamps
provided.
