11.2 CONDENSATE DRAINS

11.3 PREPARATIONS FOR VENT AND DRAINING OPTION

H16.2.2C

The furnace may condense as much as 4-1/2 pounds of water per hour (approximately 2 imperial quarts, 2-1/2
U.S. quarts or 2-1/4 liters). It is necessary to make provisions for draining the condensate away. The furnace is
supplied with a drain trap assembly. See Figures 16-20 for possible locations of the drain trap.
Af

x the condensate trap assembly to the interior of the side panel in the blower compartment for up

positions; the interior of the side panel in the burner compartment for down

ow positions. For horizontal

positions af

x the condensate trap assembly to the exterior side panels. See Figures 16-20.

Three plastic drain hose clamps are provided in the parts bag. The large ones are used for securing the drain
hose to the front manifold cover drain outlet, and securing the drain hose to the 5/8” barbed

tting on the

condensate trap assembly. The small one is used to secure the drain hose to the 1/2” barbed

tting on the

condensate trap assembly.
The drain coupling on the exhauster will work better if the drain holes are pointed down about 15 degrees. The
drain hose supplied with the furnace is long enough to reach either side panel; however, it must be cut to

t each

application. This is to prevent kinking in the drain lines.

NOTE

: It is recommended that pliers be used to

rmly clamp the plastic hose clamps.

H16.3.2A

1. Determine the most suitable vent and drain options for installation. See Figures 16-20 for reference, and

refer to Exhauster Rotation Instructions section if necessary.

2. Remove the 3-1/2” plastic exhaust vent cap (if required), and cover vent hole not in use. Install rubber

grommet (in parts bag) for 2” vent pipe. Connect vent pipe (field supplied). If using 1-1/2” or 3” vent, make
transition as close as possible to the unit and on a vertical section.

3. Connect 2” air intake pipe (field supplied).

The exhaust vent must be supported appropriately prior to

it being fitted to the exhauster. Under no circumstances shall the exhauster bear any weight of the
venting system.

4. Remove the plastic air inlet cap and connect the 2” PVC air intake connector with the rubber gasket on the

outside of the unit using the 2” lock nut (in parts bag).

5. Remove the two plastic caps attached to the blower division, and the one attached to the side panel if

applicable.

6. Affix the condensate trap assembly to the interior of the side panel in the blower compartment for upflow

positions using the two screws provided in parts bag. For horizontal positions affix the condensate trap
assembly to the exterior side panels.

7. Make sure combustion compartment is fully sealed.

NOTE
•

Condensate drain tubing must be cut to
appropriate length and slopping towards
condensate trap, ensuring that drain hoses
do not create traps prior to the condensate
trap assembly.

•

Condensate trap must be primed with
water prior to initial furnace start up.

•

Any increase of venting diameter must
be done on the vertical sections NOT
horizontal sections.

NOTE

Barbed

ttings must be fully inserted into

condensate trap, seated to barb

ange.
