Hi all. Last night I found that I had water under my furnace while the heat was running. I shut the unit down and pulled covers to investigate. My furnace was installed in 2001 so pretty sure it's not no fancy high efficiency unit just regular although it DOES have a PVC exhaust pipe(?)
I found the condensate line had popped off at the 90 (see pic) and that's where all the water was coming from. I installed a hose clamp and it's good now.
1) What is that part that I circled that has two drain tubes on top side and one, the one that popped off, on the bottom called??
2) Why would there even be condensation when I'm running the heat? I thought that could only happen when the AC is on,no? Should note the humidifier is valved off and bypassed so that's not the issue and the rust above the upper exhaust fan was dry and old. Thx
