Condensate Drain Trap
This unit is equipped with a stainless steel condensate
pan with a 1-inch MPT stainless steel drain connection.
It is important that the drain connection be fitted with a
P trap to ensure proper drainage of condensate while
maintaining internal static pressures.
A P trap assembly (kit) is
supplied with each unit and is
to be assembled and installed
as local conditions require and
according to the assembly
instructions provided with the
P trap. If local and area codes
permit, the condensate may
be drained back onto the roof,
but a drip pad should be provided beneath the outlet.
If local and area codes require a permanent drain line,
it should be fabricated and installed in accordance with
Best Practices and all codes.
In some climates, it will be necessary to provide freeze
protection for the P trap and drain line. The P trap
should be kept filled with water or glycol solution at
all times and it should be protected from freezing to
protect the P trap from damage. If severe weather
conditions occur, it may be necessary to fabricate a P
trap and drain line of metal and install a heat tape to
prevent freezing.
Condensate Overflow switch
This unit is equipped with an optional factory-mounted
condensate overflow switch. In the event that a high
level of condensate is detected, a dry contact will be
powered (24 VAC). This dry contact can be used for
field monitoring of condensate levels. All monitoring and
control shall be provided by others.
