HB: 13 December 9, 2011 Subject: Condensate Trap Installation procedure for Napoleon High Efficiency Furnaces When installing the drain trap onto the furnace, care must be taken to avoid over tightening the mounting screws and cracking the side of the trap. The large extruded collar on the trap fits tightly into the condensate drain opening in the blower division panel. If the trap screws are tightened excessively, the left side condensate trap support becomes pulled against the furnace side panel. That pressure can cause a crack in the condensate trap body causing it to leak condensate. To avoid cracking the trap: Do not over tighten the screws. (Do not use a power screw gun to secure the trap) Replacement condensate traps can be ordered from our Technical Department using p/n W010-2768. To improve tolerances, all newly manufactured furnaces will include modified blower division panel condensate trap openings, and condensate trap gaskets that are already attached to the trap for all installation positions. Condensate trap modification instructions appear later in this bulletin. Condensate Trap Modification Apply top gasket to condensate trap Using scissors, remove the bottom 2” from front gasket and apply to condensate trap.
