Duct Insulation and Vapor Proofing

Previously installed heating supply ductwork may already

have adequate insulation against excessive heat loss.

This insulation may be satisfactory for protection against

heat gain from summer cooling. Depending upon

application, additional insulation may be required.

Externally insulated ductwork must have adequate vapor

seal for summer operation, especially where duct is

exposed to high humidity conditions.

Condensate Drain

Condensate drain must consist of a minimum of ¾-inch

copper tubing, ¾-inch galvanized pipe, or ¾-inch PVC

pipe. Figure 5 shows condensate drain setup. The drain

trap must be properly configured to ensure the removal of

all condensate runoff. Ensure drain pitches downward at a

slope of one inch every 10 feet.

Note 1: Incorrect trapping can hold water in pan,

causing overflow.
Note 2: Consult local codes for additional precautions

before installing condensate pan.
Caution: If unit location is above an occupied

space or where damage may result from

condensate overflow, install a watertight pan of

corrosion-resistant metal beneath unit to catch

overflow. If this condition exists, a separate

¾-inch condensate drain must be provided for

this added pan. See Figure 6.
