Here are a few condensate drain problems that I recently found.....
First one....Main and Aux tied together like 10 ft away from the air handler......Trap was outside.... I see this ALL the time....It gets old...
Second one both drains going uphill at outside wall causing a double trap..... A real pleasure to find a year after house was insulated, etc etc.

They also have the liquid line up against the nail plate. Almost guarnteed to transmit noise into the wall. It could also cause a refrigerant leak.
If more government is the answer, then it's a really stupid question.

Got to love cookie cutter tract housing!
I haven't seen a single (attic) condensate drain done PROPERLY since I've been to the Phoenix area.
Th esecondary should be ran over a door or window by itself. Never seen it in Phoenix. But we did it where I was previsouly.
