Camco 10862 Side Mount Runoff Tube

Product Description

The CAMCO 10862 is a side mount runoff tube designed to direct condensate or overflow drainage away from water heaters and related appliances. This fitting attaches to the side outlet of a temperature and pressure relief valve or drain port, channeling discharged water safely to a floor drain or collection point. It is a standard service part installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians during new installations or when replacing deteriorated drain components. The side mount orientation suits installations where a direct downward drop is not possible due to cabinet or enclosure constraints.

This runoff tube is used in residential and light commercial water heater installations where the T and P relief valve or drain fitting requires a side-exit discharge path. It is suited for applications where plumbing layout, wall proximity, or appliance placement makes a vertical drop impractical. Installers working on gas or electric water heaters in utility closets, mechanical rooms, or tight alcoves will find this orientation particularly useful when routing discharge lines to an approved drain point.

Key Features

• Side mount design accommodates installations where vertical downward discharge is not feasible
• Compatible with standard temperature and pressure relief valve drain outlets
• Directs discharge flow away from the appliance toward a floor drain or safe termination point
• Compact form factor suited for tight mechanical spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement side mount runoff tube for residential and light commercial water heater drain and relief valve discharge applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and de-energize or extinguish the water heater before servicing any drain or relief valve fittings. The discharge tube must terminate at an approved drain location and must never be capped, plugged, or routed to a location where discharge could cause injury or property damage. Verify the connection is secure and leak-free before returning the appliance to service.
