    Mini-split p-trap

    Thanks for confirming what I thought was the case with traps on condensate lines. Now I can say I "know" what they are suppose to do instead of just "thinking" for which I was chastised earlier by a board member (HVAC'ker). Thanks again.

    Mini-split p-trap

    Thanks for pointing out the diagram. It didn't look like the traps on the A/C condensate lines I've seen so I didn't think they were trying to draw a trap. But you are correct--in effect that's what it is.

    Mini-split p-trap

    Dana---Thanks for the links to the FXMQ and FTXN series of Daikin mini-splits. Of the two, the FTXN air handler appears to be very similar in construction to the FDXS series which I have. Unlike the instructions for my FDXS where no mention of p-traps or other wise is stated, the FXMQ is as...

    Mini-split p-trap

    I think a p-trap in a condensate drain line is put there to keep outside ambient air from being drawn into the air handler which when the blower is on operates at a pressure less than outside ambient pressure. Air drawn in the handler in that way might cause the improper draining of the...

    Mini-split p-trap

    I thought p-traps were always used on condensate lines from A/C air handlers (evaporators). But the installation instructions for my Daikin ductless mini-split does not show or call for a p-trap in the drain line. If I install one next to the air handler, will it cause me problems? Is it even...

This is awkward, but...
