    This probably wont work!

    I was in a crawlspace yesterday and saw this. Horizontal coil, condensate line piped for vertical. This should be common sense, yet i've seen it more than once.

    That's to keep muck from growing in the condensate pump.
    If more government is the answer, then it's a really stupid question.

    what am I not seeing?

    Is that pipe dumping onto the floor and not into the pump?

    No, it's piped into the primary drain of the upright position.

    I guess if he had put it in the drain on the bottom, he would have to change the length of the PVC drop. And we know how hard that stuff is to cut!

    Its piped to where it should be if its a vertical install. Where it is now, it will overflow out of the pan before it reaches the drain.

    common sense is not that common.


    but that's the hole that was open
    It`s better to be silent and thought the fool; than speak and remove all doubt.

    If the manufacturer left that one open it must be the right one to use....
