ReplyInteresting. That an emergency drain pan setup around the supply transition? Nice slim duct. Our salesmen, especially the ones whose name appear on the sign, like downspout instead. Cheaper!

Had to use some slim-duct on this one as the lineset went down the wall 20+ feet.
Here are a couple of outdoor and indoor pics, respectively.
He will get a full 14 SEER, 12 EER and 8.5 HSPF out of this add-on. Should see some decent savings over his existing 80% builder's grade Bryant furnace.

I hear ya on the cost of the downspout vs. slimduct. He paid a little extra so we gave him the good stuff.

My local would fail the outlet for not being a GFI.
Everything does look superb.
The TXV tubing looks wonderfull. I wish I could make mine look that good.

Nice Install... if you got a spill pan why no float switch? unless its not pictured either way i like the Bryant is that a copper gas line tapped off there? cant tell sorry

That thing was already there and that IS not what it is, please read previous post.
Again, read the whole story, this was a heat pump add-on, that builder's grade Bryant is junk. Read, read, read, then formulate your response, it is misplaced.

Code requires it. Read through my other jobs here on the WOP and you will see I think it's nonsense as well.

i agree about the trap! with a condensate pump if you put the drain line all the way down it will sit in the water and act as a trap. wouldnt that pass as the trap and not have to use the p-trap???geeeeez dang inspectors. and shoot its even positive pressure.

Seaton - I thought the install overall looked pretty sharp. I just had one question. Why did you go from hard pipe to flex back to hard pipe on the gas? Why not just hard pipe 100%?
If your not getting the results you desire then change. People change from either desperation or inspiration.

We didn't really mess with the gas piping too much other than using the full length of the existing flex. It was coiled up before. Didn't make sense to rework the whole thing since we didn't change anything on it.

Wondering the same about seaton. Got to thank the guy (along with couple others on this board) for helping me with my new system.

UH Question to the orginal poster???? What is that on the bottom of the condenser next to the pad? is that a Grounding rod? or something else? We never see that here in Las Vegas
