The Condensate Traps & Line Accessories category contains the critical drainage components that ensure reliable, code-compliant and obstruction-free condensate flow from air handlers, coils, furnaces and mini-split systems. Properly designed and installed traps prevent air bypass, blower suction, gurgling and standing water in the system. Cleanouts and fittings make maintenance faster and keep systems operating efficiently by allowing debris, sludge and algae buildup to be flushed from the line.
This section includes P-traps, EZ-clean traps, clear inspection traps, unions, tees, elbows, condensate cleanouts, trap kits, adapters, flexible tubing, condensate tees, slope supports and line access components. Many parts are designed for pressurized drain pans, high static air handlers and mini-split installations that depend on proper siphon action to move condensate without overflow or odor issues. Transparent traps help visual inspection, while serviceable cleanouts reduce callbacks by allowing techs to flush the drain quickly during tune-ups.
Before selecting traps or line accessories, confirm the equipment type, static pressure, drain orientation, condensate volume, diameter of existing PVC or tubing and available access. High-static systems may require deeper traps, while mini-splits often use compact, low-profile fittings. Always ensure cleanout ports are accessible after installation for annual maintenance or emergency service.
Pro tip: Every trap should be installed with proper slope before and after, and cleanouts should be installed at the unit for quick flushing. Recommend that homeowners or building managers have the drain inspected and cleaned every cooling season to prevent algae growth and overflow events.
Condensate traps and line accessories include P-traps, transparent traps, condensate cleanouts, tees, connectors, elbows, slope supports and tubing for HVAC drainage systems. These components ensure proper siphon action, clean drainage, air barrier integrity and easy maintenance.
