Lennox SLP98DFV - Condensate Management

Page 27
6 - If unit will be started immediately upon completion
of installation, prime trap per procedure outlined in
Unit Start-Up section.
Condensate line must slope downward away from the trap
to drain. If drain level is above condensate trap, conden-
sate pump must be used. Condensate drain line should
be routed within the conditioned space to avoid freezing of
condensate and blockage of drain line. If this is not possi-
ble, a heat cable kit may be used on the condensate trap
and line. Heat cable kit is available from Lennox in various
lengths; 6 ft. (1.8m) - kit no. 26K68 and 24 ft. (7.3m) - kit
no. 26K69.

IMPORTANT
When combining the furnace and evaporator coil
drains together, the A/C condensate drain outlet
must be vented to relieve pressure in order for the
furnace pressure switch to operate properly.
