Coil Piping and Connections
Drain Pan Trapping
WARNING
No Step Surface!
Do not walk on the sheet metal drain pan. Walking on the drain pan could cause the supporting
metal to collapse. Failure of the drain pan could result in death or serious injury.
Threaded condensate drain connections are provided on only one side of the coil section. Pitch the
connection lines horizontal or downward toward an open drain. Trane recommends installing a
plug to facilitate cleaning of the trap.
Figure 50 illustrates the proper trapping, piping, and operation of the trap for negative pressure
sections. Use the formula under the figure to determine the correct minimum depth for the
condensate trap.
Figure 51 illustrates the proper trapping, piping, and operation of the trap for positive pressure
sections.
Note: Positive pressure traps require a different design than negative pressure traps.
If a section has a drain pan for cleaning purposes only, it does not need a trap; however, a cap or
shutoff valve should be installed on the drain connection. Only sections handling condensate, such
as a cooling coil section or moisture eliminator section, require a trap.
NOTICE
Water Damage!
When more than one section has a drain pain, trap each section individually. Connecting all
drains to a common line with only one trap can result in condensate retention and possible
water damage to the air handler or adjoining space.
