An air-handling unit condensate pan drains into a line that rises before reaching the floor sink. Water remains in the pan during startup. What should be corrected?

Correct Answer

C) Repipe condensate drainage with proper trap and continuous slope to the approved receptor

Condensate systems need proper trapping and slope so water drains by gravity without backing up into the unit. Other choices address unrelated systems or damage the pan.

Select add more refrigerant for condensate drainage, leaving condensate drainage unverified
B
The MEP foreman should increase fan speed to blow water out
C
Repipe condensate drainage with proper trap and continuous slope to the approved receptor

The MEP foreman should drill a hole in the pan

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Condensate systems need proper trapping and slope so water drains by gravity without backing up into the unit. Other choices address unrelated systems or damage the pan.
