Compatibility & Requirements

Installation requires basic plumbing skills and familiarity with HVAC condensate drainage systems. The 3/4-inch connection points accommodate standard PVC drain pipe used in residential and light commercial applications. The float switch must be wired to a compatible HVAC control board or relay that supports normally open or normally closed switch configurations. Verify local codes regarding condensate trap requirements and safety switch installations before beginning work. A qualified HVAC technician should perform the electrical connections to ensure proper system shutdown functionality. This item replaces: EZT-210.

Installation & Care

Connect the trap to the HVAC unit's condensate drain outlet using 3/4-inch PVC pipe and appropriate fittings. Position the trap with the U-bend oriented downward and access ports facing outward for future servicing. Route the 72-inch float switch cable to the HVAC control board and wire according to the wiring diagram. Test the switch by filling the trap to verify system shutdown occurs at the correct water level. Check the clear U-bend monthly for debris buildup or algae growth. Remove the access port caps and insert the included brush to clear any blockages. Rinse the trap with clean water after brushing. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the PVC or affect switch operation. Inspect the float switch quarterly to confirm free movement and proper seating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I reset the EZ Trap float switch?
A: Empty the trap of excess condensate to lower the water level below the float activation point. The float will drop and reset the switch automatically, allowing the HVAC system to restart.

Q: Should the EZ Trap be full of water?
A: The U-bend should maintain a water seal to prevent air infiltration, but the trap should not fill to the point where the float switch activates. Normal operation shows water in the bottom curve with airspace above.
