• If the drain line is routed through an area which may
see temperatures near or below freezing, precau-
tions 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.
UPRIGHT INSTALLATIONS
In an upright installation drain hoses are connected to drain
ports on the rubber elbow and the recouperator coil front
cover. The drain lines are then routed through the right or left
side panel and into the drain trap secured to the outside of
the cabinet.
NOTE: Refer to Condensate Drain Lines and Drain Trap -
Alternate Vent/Flue Hose Connections section in this manual
or the installation instructions for upright installations using
an alternate vent/flue outlet.
Standard Right or Left Side Drain Hose Connections
Upright installations using the standard vent/flue outlet re-
quire drain hoses to be connected as shown in the following
