• Use corrosion resistant pipe, such as PVC, for the condensate drain line. Do not use metallic pipe.
• The condensate drain does not require a trap.

• The condensate drain is at atmospheric pressure (non-pressurized) and therefore must be allowed to drain
freely with gravity only. Ensure that the condensate drain tube is not plugged, blocked, or kinked. Ensure
