Platsky 553240 Vertical Condensate Lift Pump 45 Gph 115V

Product Description

The PLATSKY 553240 is a vertical condensate lift pump designed to remove condensate from HVAC systems where gravity drainage is not possible or practical. This unit handles the task of lifting condensate water from fan coil units, air handlers, mini-splits, and high-efficiency furnaces to an elevated drain point. At 45 GPH capacity and rated for 115 volts, it provides reliable flow in residential and light commercial applications. Licensed HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this type of equipment during system commissioning or service calls.

This condensate lift pump is suited for installations where the condensate drain line must be routed upward or horizontally over a long distance before reaching a suitable drain point. Typical applications include finished basements, attic air handlers, closet-mounted fan coils, and any installation where a standard gravity drain is not accessible. The vertical pump configuration allows it to fit in tight mechanical spaces where horizontal clearance is limited.

Key Features

• 45 GPH lift capacity handles condensate loads from residential and light commercial HVAC equipment
• 115-volt operation compatible with standard single-phase power circuits
• Vertical pump design for installation in confined mechanical spaces
• Compact footprint at 12.88 inches long by 6.5 inches wide by 11 inches tall
• Unit weight of 12.8 pounds for manageable single-technician handling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation condensate lift pump for residential and light commercial HVAC systems requiring vertical condensate removal at 115 volts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified mechanical contractor. Shut off power to the associated HVAC system at the disconnect or breaker before connecting or servicing the pump. Ensure the discharge line is free of kinks and that the float switch is unobstructed before restoring power. Follow local mechanical codes for condensate drain line sizing and routing requirements.
