Product Description
The DIVERSITECH cv-rtrap is a 3/4-inch Schedule 40 PVC R-style condensate trap designed for use in HVAC condensate drain lines. Its clear PVC body allows technicians to see directly into the line and detect blockages, standing water, or debris before a backup causes equipment shutdown or water damage. The slip-by-slip fitting connection makes installation straightforward, and the smooth inner walls of Schedule 40 PVC promote low pressure drop and resist chemical degradation and corrosion. Rated to 140 degrees F, this trap handles typical condensate temperatures found in residential and light commercial air handler and furnace applications.
This trap is intended for ducted HVAC systems where a condensate drain line requires a properly formed trap to maintain the negative-pressure seal between the drain pan and the drain outlet. Installers use it in primary or secondary drain line configurations on air handlers, fan coils, and gas furnaces with condensate-producing heat exchangers. The clear body is particularly useful during commissioning and routine maintenance checks, allowing a visual confirmation of flow or blockage without cutting into the line.
Key Features
- Clear Schedule 40 PVC body allows direct visual inspection of condensate flow and blockage
- R-trap style geometry maintains proper condensate seal in negative-pressure drain systems
- Slip by slip connection fits standard 3/4-inch PVC condensate drain fittings and pipe
- Smooth inner walls reduce pressure drop and resist chemical and corrosion buildup
- Rated to 140 degrees F for compatibility with typical HVAC condensate temperatures
- Ducted system application for air handlers, fan coils, and condensing furnaces
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation condensate trap for ducted residential and light commercial HVAC systems using 3/4-inch Schedule 40 PVC condensate drain lines.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Shut down and lock out the air handler or furnace before working on the condensate drain system. Use standard PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 40 PVC when making slip connections, and allow full cure time before restoring power and operation. Verify trap depth and orientation meet the equipment manufacturer's drain specifications and any applicable local mechanical codes.
