Question 1

Does it come with the red caps?

Accepted Answer

Love them. I put them on 5 unit's at a Dentist office. Makes my job easier.

Question 2

Can this be installed anywhere on the condensate line?  I've a mobile home with AC installed in a tiny closet and need to install it below the pan.

Accepted Answer

Ideally, you want the trap right off the evaporator coil with a tee and air vent on the outlet. If you can’t do that, it should work below the floor. Drop off the coil through the floor. Put an elbow off the outlet of your drop and run a 4” to 6” piece of pipe to the trap inlet.  Run the trap outlet into the side outlet of a tee. The ends of the tee should be vertical (one facing up and one facing down). Put a 4” to 6” piece of open pipe into the upward facing end of the tee. This is your air vent. It gives air in the drain a place to escape and helps the condensate to drain better. Run a pipe from the downward facing end of the tee to a floor drain, condensate pump or sump crock - wherever you want the condensate to ultimately drain. Good luck.

Question 3

Can it be used on a roof unit with heavy sun exposure?

Accepted Answer

These units are made with PVC plastic and can become brittle with age after prolonged exposure to UV light from the sun. However, depending where your outside is, I would be more concerned with condensate water in the tubing loop, or trap, that could freeze and damage the plastic, thereby rendering the unit inoperable.

Question 4

Should pvc come out the lower red capped piece for a vent?

Accepted Answer

No the upper portal is where the PVC tube from the equipment drain goes into. The lower portal is where the PVC tube continues out to your drain there is no vent tube. If you think you need a vent then open the highest red capped cover because if theres a backup the open capped is where it will run over unless you put a tube in that is higher than the drain hole on the equipment that you are using the tube to take the fluids away. But then you will have an over flow in your equipment if there is no over flow protection system to shut off your equipment.
