INSTALLING THE CONDENSATE PIPING

Hydro Kit
Installing a Drip Pan (Optional, Field Supplied)
Depending on the location of the Hydro Kit, an optional drip pan could be necessary. The factory has installed insulation on all cold surfaces,
but the Hydro Kit still generates condensate. The unit has a 1.0" MPT condensate pipe connection on the right side, and is equipped with a
base pan drain hole to drain water that could enter the unit during maintenance and service.

• Hydro Kits do not include internal drain pumps, the units use grav-
ity drains to remove condensate. If a condensate pump is required,
it is field-provided and installed external to the Hydro Kit frame.
• The condensate drain connection is 1.0" MPT. For the drain piping
size, use the same diameter as the product connected or larger.
• Condensate piping must slope about 1/50 to 1/100 downward,
and not include any traps, therefore allowing gravity to push any
condensation down and away from the Hydro Kit.
• Properly vent the condensate piping per industry standard prac-
tices.
•
Do not install the condensate piping up or with a trap. Installing
condensate piping in an up direction or if the piping run includes
a trap, any condensate will back flow into the Hydro Kit, causing
product damage and operation malfunction.
• When installing the piping connections, support the pipe to avoid
placing force on the drain. Internal damage will occur.
• Follow all applicable local, state, and federal codes if / when insu-
lating Hydro Kit condensate piping.
