Hello all,
After spending some time reading about my options, I don't seem to have any definitive solution. So, I'd like to pose this question here:
Can I run a 3/8 flexible copper condensate line (from a high-efficiency furnace condensate pump... a Diversitech CP-22) into an ABS waste line?
My current configuration has the condensate line running outside, but in colder temperatures (here in WA state, it seems to have gotten progressively colder), the line exiting the house occasionally freezes up.
As the condensate pump is between the furnace and the waste line, there's no chance of a back up of sewage or gases, which seems to be the most highly-debated issue against this approach.
I've parsed my copy of the 2006 IRC, but cannot find anything definitive there either.
Your opinions please.
thanks,
rich
