What should I know about ductwork and connections for the MRCOOL VERSA PRO MVP-24-HP-230-25?
• Air supply and return can be handled in one of several ways depending on which is best suited for the type of installation. The vast majority of problems encountered with combination cooling systems can be linked to improperly designed or installed ductwork. For this reason, it is highly important that the duct system be properly designed and installed.
• The use of flexible duct collars will minimize the transmission of vibration and noise into the conditioned space. In an installation where the return air duct is short, or where sound is likely to be a problem, a sound absorbing liner should be used inside the duct.
• Insulation of the ductwork is a requirement anywhere it runs through an uncooled space during the cooling season.
• The use of a vapor barrier is recommended to prevent absorption of moisture from the surrounding air into the insulation.
• The supply air duct should utilize a properly sized transition in order to match the unit opening.
• All ducts should be suspended using flexible hangers and never fastened directly to the structure. This unit is not designed for non-ducted (free-blow) applications.
• Ductwork should be fabricated and installed in accordance with local and/or national codes.
CAUTION:
• A field-fabricated secondary drain pan (not included), with a drain pipe to the outside of the building is required in all installations over a finished living space or in any area that may be damaged by overflow from the main drain pan. NOTE: A secondary drain pan is required for horizontal installations.
• This unit is not designed for non-ducted (free-blow) applications. Electric heat kit elements and/or blower is easily accessible without ductwork and creates a safety hazard that could result in electric shock and/or personal injury.

What are the drain pipe and trap requirements for the MRCOOL VERSA PRO MVP-24-HP-230-25?
The MRCOOL VERSA PRO MVP-24-HP-230-25 operates with a negative pressure at the drain connections, so a drain trap is required. The trap must be installed as close to the unit as possible. Make sure the top of the trap is below the connection to the drain pan to allow complete drainage of the pan.
Drain Trap Specifications:
• A P-trap with an anti-siphon air vent (vent T) is required.
• The vertical sections of the trap should be >50mm (2″).
• Horizontal runs must also have an anti-siphon air vent (standpipe) installed ahead of the horizontal run to eliminate air trapping.
• The horizontal pipe must have a lean-over (slope) of 1/50.
WARNINGS and Notices:
• After removing the drain pan plug(s), verify that the drain opening is fully clear and free of debris.
• On units of this type in which the blower “draws” in air rather than “blows” air through the coil, traps must be installed in the condensate drain lines (primary and auxiliary, if used). Traps prevent the blower from drawing air through the drain lines into the air supply.
• Insulate all piping to prevent condensation, which could lead to water damage.
• If the drainpipe is bent or installed incorrectly, water may leak and cause a water-level switch malfunction.
• The drainpipe outlet should be at least 1.9 in (5 cm) above the ground.
• If installed above a finished living space, a secondary drain pan must be installed under the entire unit, and its condensate drain line must be routed where the excess drainage is not in view.
