by extracting almost all of the heat from the products of
combustion and cooling them to the point where condensation
takes place. The condensate which is generated must be
piped to an appropriate drain location.

• • If the drain line is routed through an area which may
see temperatures near or below freezing, precautions
must be taken to prevent condensate from freezing
within the drain line.
• • If an air conditioning coil is installed with the furnace,
a common drain may be used. An open tee must
be installed in the drain line, near the cooling coil, to
relieve positive air pressure from the coil’s plenum.
This is necessary to prohibit any interference with the
function of the furnace’s drain trap.

The furnace rating plate includes the approved furnace gas
input rating and gas types. The furnace must be equipped
to operate on the type of gas applied. This includes any
conversion kits required for alternate fuels and/or high altitude.
