DRAIN LINE
Drain Line Connection
It is important that the drain line tube be properly connected and used to prevent leakage and other problems associated with
excess condensation. If the drain line is draining into a vessel, make sure that the drain line hangs above the surface and is not
submerged. This will prevent the formation of mold.
*
INCORRECT: Do not allow the
drain line to be submerged (if
draining into a vessel).
*
CORRECT: Drain line should
hang above the waterline.
Condensation Drain Line Tube
The condensation drain line tube is used to remove excess condensation from the unit to a proper discharge location. It is
important that the drain line tube be properly connected and used to prevent leakage and other problems associated with
excess condensation.
Failure to use the condensation drain line tube will void the warranty on the unit.
To attach the drain line tube:
1. Wrap tee with Teflon tape one or two
turns clockwise.
2. Next, thread the barb tee into the rear
drain port and rotate until tight. Make sure
the tees of the barb are sticking straight
up and down.
3. Next, attach the piece of rubber 1/2" ID
hosing to the lower tee of the barb.
4. Every six weeks, disconnect the drain
line from the barb tee. Remove the barb
from the rear drain port and clean it. Then
use the supplied drain line brush to clean
the interior drain line. Use the drain line
access door (pictured at right) to drop a
pan tab into the drip tray to prevent the
buildup of microbial growth.
