Condensate Pump Drain Line

Suitable for use with condensate from air conditioning applications.

Condensate pump drain line.

It connects directly to the hvac unit and leads outdoors often through an exterior wall. Furnished in 160 feet lengths with cut marks every 3 28 feet. Enter the condensate line which essentially functions as a drain line. In the primary condensate drain pan in the primary condensate drain line or in the condensate overflow drain line positioned to detect and shut down the equipment before the primary drain pan would overflow.

This will kill any algae mold or mildew that has formed in the pipe. Diversitech cp 22 series pumps beat the industry standard of 20 ft. This large diameter drain line is typical for mini split installations. Over time it can become trapped in your condensate drain line causing blockage.

If the condensate drain line is clogged you will need to use a wet dry vacuum or a special pumpto unclog the line. The condensate drain line connected to your ac unit plays a vital role in the effective operation of your entire system. 1 if you have a condensate pump like i do the service tech that installed my hvac system told me to simply add 2 to 3 tablespoons of bleach to the pump reservoir once or twice a year while it is still in operation. A water detection device ul 508 that will shut off the equipment in event of blockage of the primary condensate drain can be installed in any of several locations that in essence detect that the primary drain is backing up.

Signs the ac drain line is clogged as indoor air circulates through the evaporator coil dust dirt and other airborne particles can be trapped by moisture. Ultimately your condensate line is responsible for removing the condensation that s produced by the evaporator coil draining it from the air handler to the outside of your house. Just pour a cup of bleach in the drain line s access opening near the indoor air conditioning unit. Vertically once the level of condensate in the tank reaches a specified level.

A unique drain line for mini split units. Condensate switches imc 307 2 3 states that all hvac equipment that produces condensate must have either a secondary drain line or a condensate overflow switch a secondary drain pan with a secondary drain line or condensate switch or some combination of these installations should be used to prevent overflow if the primary drain line blocks.
