Had to hang one, on it's side.

Why does it need one? Sink under it with a concrete floor and floor drain?

I think he just meant that a couple ppl commented that you needed a float switch in a pan that isn't there that he couldn't see, and either could I.
I never put a safety pan with a switch in either unless it was in an attic, on a rare occasion, on a first floor set up.

By code we have to put a float switch in every install, wether it be in an attic or closet. It is a code I do agree with.

[beastmode]

not too hateful....wierd spot though

Nice install, I would have liked to see a condensate float switch on the overflow, where is the trap for the condensate drain?
I know that Carried recommends that the filter drier be placed by the indoor unit, I take it that other manufacturers are also doing the same. Nice clean install.

Trap is down low, tied it into the sink drain. EZ trap.

We don't use overflow switches. Why all the sudden everyone pushing them with a horizontal application?

I have only been to 1 install we did to unclog a drain. Unico system in an attic with about 40' of drain with 6" of fall over that length. Took a few years but it finally plugged. Blow it out with nitro every spring now when we change filter. Takes an extra 5 minutes.

I guess because of the amount of wet floors and ceilings I have had to deal with, especially this year, might be my location that I deal with, whenever I have a flood situation I install a float switch so I do not have to deal with wet carpets and ceilings again, though I have seen them fail too.

[jimmyed]

No carpet here, I guess I could have some wet concrete to deal with. Attic, they get a overflow pan, but not this. On second thought, we very rarely put one in an attic. Furnaces don't belong in an attic.

Combining the coil and fau drain without a trap and vent for the coil puts a positive pressure in the fau drain line when the blower is running. This was not designed to happen or tested by the factory. Hopefully fau drains ok.

I always add a safety overflow switch for reasons stated.

Nice work.

[jimmyed]

The furnace drains into the same drain. Just a 1/2" cpvc fitting slid inside the 3/4" sdr21.

Plenty of room for pressure to blow by. Plus if the drain stops up I won't have any acidic water getting to the coil.

Nice install......really like the line set and filter drier.

[manny238]

looks real good...Sheet metal looks clean...

Here in Florida near the coast you have to put the dryer inside or it won't last.

Was told the same for here in Texas, yet most i see have it outside.

[jtrammel]

looks good, nice work.

[nsula_country]

Very nice install.

+1 on the forming of the lineset. Very clean looking.

As for the condensate float, the inspector flagged my 1st floor unit (downdraft) for not having a coil pan float... Upstairs unit is in the attic and has a secondary float switch. Inspectors vary in what they deem code. Otherwise, AWESOME install.

why on earth do guys install the drier inside.... it looks bad...... put it outside.. ..

so it doesnt rust out and leak!!!! and the closer to the txv the better any crud that could be in the lines from assembly will go into the drier not the txv

[tedkidd]

typically from the installs i have seen with it inside it looks like sh!t but this, i.m.o. actually looks good

Nice looking tin too.

These shots before you slathered it with mastic?

Hmmm...

[jpb2]

closer to the evap. Thats where it belongs

[jpb2]

Looks nice

[jimmyed]

No, I don't use mastic unless it is in a crawl or attic. Furnace and both supply and return duct are in the same conditioned space. Doesn't matter.

not only that, but alot of times it's easier to get to inside if you have to change it in the future. and driers are supposed to be installed vertically, so they don't trap oil in the canister.....makes that easier too.

nice install!
