II. UPFLOW APPLICATIONS
An upflow furnace application is where furnace blower is located
below combustion and controls section of furnace, and conditioned
air is discharged upwards.
A. Condensate Trap Location (Factory-Shipped
Orientation)
The condensate trap is factory installed in the blower shelf and
factory connected for UPFLOW applications. A factory-supplied
tube is used to extend the condensate trap drain connection to the
desired furnace side for field drain attachment. See Condensate
Trap Tubing (Factory-Shipped Orientation) section for drain tube
extension details. (See Fig. 6.)
B. Condensate Trap Tubing (Factory-Shipped
Orientation)
NOTE: See Fig. 6 or tube routing label on main furnace door to
confirm location of these tubes.
1. Collector Box Drain, Inducer Housing Drain, Relief Port,
and Pressure Switch Tubes
These tubes are factory attached to the condensate trap and
pressure switch ready for use in UPFLOW applications.
These tubes can be identified by their connection location
and also by a color label on each tube. These tubes are
identified as follows: collector box drain tube (blue label),
inducer housing drain tube (violet label or molded), relief
port tube (green label), and pressure switch tube (pink
label).
2. Condensate Trap Drain Tube
The condensate trap drain connection must be extended for
field attachment by doing the following:
a. Determine location of field drain connection. (See Fig. 2
or 6.)
NOTE: If internal filter is used, drain tube should be located to
opposite side of casing from return duct attachment to assist in
filter removal.
b. Remove and discard casing drain hole plug button from
desired side.
c. Install drain tube coupling grommet (factory-supplied in
loose parts bag) in selected casing hole.
d. Slide drain tube coupling (factory-supplied in loose parts
bag) through grommet ensuring long end of coupling
faces blower.
e. Cement 2 factory-supplied 1/2-in. street CPVC elbows to
the rigid drain tube connection on the condensate trap.
(See Fig. 6.) These elbows must be cemented together
and cemented to condensate trap drain connection.
NOTE: Failure to use CPVC elbows may allow drain to kink and
prevent draining.
f. Connect larger diameter drain tube and clamp (factory-
supplied in loose parts bag) to condensate trap and clamp
securely.
g. Route tube to coupling and cut to appropriate length.
h. Attach tube to coupling and clamp securely.
