3. Install a 3 in. trap in both the primary and secondary drain

lines as close to the unit as practical. Make sure the top of the

trap is below the connection to the drain pan to allow

complete drainage of the pan.

NOTE: Horizontal runs over 15 ft long must also have an anti-

siphon air vent (standpipe) installed ahead of the horizontal

run. See “Typical Condensate Drain Connection.” An

extremely long horizontal run may require an oversized drain

line to eliminate air trapping.

Typical Condensate Drain Connection

(secondary drain not shown)

NOTE: Do not install evaporator coil without a drain trap. The

condensate drain is on the negative pressure side of the blower;

therefore, air being pulled through the condensate line will

prevent positive drainage without a proper trap.

4. Route the drain line to the outside or to an appropriate drain.

Drain lines must be installed so they do not block service

access to the front of the evaporator coil. A 24 in. clearance is

required for filter, coil, or blower removal and service access.

NOTE: Check local codes before connecting the drain line to

an existing drainage system.

5. Insulate the drain lines where sweating could cause water

damage.

Test condensate drain pan and drain line after installation:

1. Pour several quarts of water into drain pan, enough to fill

drain trap and line.

2. Check to make sure the drain pan is draining completely, no

leaks are found in drain line fittings, and water is draining

from the end of the primary drain line.

3. Correct any leaks found.

Connect Refrigerant Lines

Refrigerant lines must be connected by a licensed, EPA certified

refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

IMPORTANT:

Connecting refrigerant lines must be clean, dehydrated,

refrigerant-grade copper lines. Evaporator coils should be

installed only with specified line sizes for approved system

combinations.

Use care with the refrigerant lines during the installation process.

Sharp bends or possible kinking in the lines will cause a

restriction.

Do not remove the caps from the lines or system connection

points until connections are ready to be completed.

1. Route the suction and liquid lines from the fittings on the

indoor coil to the fittings on the outdoor unit. Run the lines in

as direct a path as possible, avoiding unnecessary turns and

bends.

2. Ensure that the suction line is insulated over the entire

exposed length and that both suction and liquid lines are not

in direct contact with floors, walls, duct work, floor joists, or

other piping.

3. Connect the suction and liquid lines to the evaporator coil.

4. To avoid damaging the rubber grommets in the cabinet while

brazing, slide the rubber grommets over the refrigerant lines

until they are away from the heat source.

5. Braze with an alloy of silver or copper and phosphorus with a

melting point above 1,100°F.

NOTE: Do not use soft solder.

6. Reinstall the rubber grommets after brazing is finished.

7. Make sure outdoor unit has been put in place according to

the Installation Instructions and is connected to the

refrigerant lines.
