STEP 2: SEAL AND SET PAN

Prior to placing the drain pan into the opening run a 1/4" bead of sealant the entire width of the removed
gasket. The secondary overflow lip must extend into the plenum to prevent water leaks. The pan should be
mounted against the 3/4" flange of the plenum, refer to view A.

STEP 3: INSTALL DRAIN PAN

Attach the drain pan to the closet floor with the appropriate field supplied hardware.
IMPORTANT - To prevent water leaks use only the factory supplied mounting holes. NEVER make penetrations in the

drain pan itself.

STEP 4: INSTALL DRAIN PLUG

The drain pan comes with both left and right-hand drain connections locations. Determine which of the two con­nections will be used to drain the condensate. Then, with the factory supplied drain plug, plug the unused opening.

NOTE - proper sealant must be applied to the connection to prevent leaks.

STEP 5: INSTALL DRAIN LINE

Condensate line routing options are shown below. Choose the one that best suits your installation. Never run
the condensate line as shown in Option 4 below, as the drain line will come into contact with the factory-installed
isolators beneath the unit.

Option 1

Run condensate line
to right of unit

Option 2

Run condensate line
beneath unit platform

Option 3

Run condensate line
to left of unit

IMPORTANT - The drain pan and line must be kept free from debris. Prior to installing the chassis ensure that
there are no blockages in the drain pan or line.

Option 4

Do not run
condensate line
