Another case of wrong

[Charley L. Bottger]

This was from today's inspect gas fired furnace 80 % efficient located in the attic with primary, secondary condensate drains installed with safety pan.

Who can explain why the drains are wrong and no you do not have to be a CMI to answer.

[Jae Williams]

On second glance, what appears the be the coil's secondary drain in going into the drain pan. Where does it go from there???

Ya just gota wonder sometimes what people are thinking, well when there not.

The secondary drain and the safety pan were Tee'd together and then travel to the exterior of the foundation near the A/C condenser. The secondary drain was draining water at the time of inspection.

[Peter Doane]

Hard to tell from just pictures.
1) Drain line drains into the pan,..
2) The exterior drain pipe is higher then the pan.

Potential overflow - water takes the path of least resistance.

Come on guys this one is just glaring at you don't let them CMI's out do you </IMG></IMG>

[Brian E. Kelly]

The overflow pan piping goes higher than the top of the pan. Neato.

[William J. Decker]

No vent on the drain. The top vent appears to be capped.

In my area, they want these pipes insulated in an open attic.

You guys are wearing the wrong hat today I placed the answer to this question in my first post??????

I can under stand insulating these lines up north but what if the furnace is not high efficiency and makes no water. Is it still required to be insulated if water is present only in the cooling season?

[Dan Bowers, CMI]

Is it insulated inside the metal?????????
