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.

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

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. Peter Doane Realty Check Inspection Service NACHI ID# 05120681

No vent on the drain. The top vent appears to be capped.
In my area, they want these pipes insulated in an open attic.
