Drain adapters solve HVAC condensate challenge
Problem: A very large beach home on the North Carolina coast faced a unique plumbing challenge: the installation of multiple HVAC systems, each requiring condensate pumps with rigid PVC discharge lines. Local codes mandated the use of air gaps, so the HVAC contractor sought a solution that could handle both high and low flow rates.Solution: The contractor chose three DrainGap Multi-Port Drain Adapters from Vista Water Group, which offer air gaps certified to the ASME A112.1.3 standard. Although the condensate pumps produced low flow rates, the inspector required larger diameter, rigid PVC discharge lines leading to
