SECTION313 EQUIPMENT EFFICIENCIES
313.1 General. Equipment efficiencies shall be in accor-dance with the Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation.
SECTION 314 CONDENSATE DISPOSAL
[M] 314.1 Fuel-burning appliances. Liquid combustion byproducts of condensing appliances shall be collected and dis-charged to an approved plumbing fixture or disposal area in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Condensate piping shall be of approved corrosion-resistant material and shall not be smaller than the drain connection on the appli-ance. Such piping shall maintain a horizontal slope in the direction of discharge of not less than oneeighth unit vertical in 12 units horizontal (1-percent slope).
[M] 314.2 Evaporators and cooling coils. Condensate drain systems shall be provided for equipment and appliances con-taining evaporators or cooling coils. Condensate drain sys-tems shall be designed, constructed and installed in accordance with Sections 314.2.1 through 314.2.5.
[M] 314.2.1 Condensate drainage collection, use or disposal. Condensate from all cooling coils and evaporators of equipment served by an onsite cooling tower in a building or structure wherein the aggregate cooling capacity of the equipment exceeds 65,000 Btu/hr shall be collected and conveyed from the drain pan outlet and discharged to the cooling tower. Where an on-site cooling tower is not installed the condensate from all cooling coils and evaporators shall be conveyed from the drain pan outlet to an approved place of disposal. Such piping shall maintain a horizontal slope in the direction of discharge of not less than one-eighth unit vertical in 12 units horizontal (1percent slope). Condensate shall not discharge into a street, alley or other areas so as to cause a nuisance.
Adopted: October 12, 2017 Effective: January 1, 2018
Exceptions: 1. Condensate from cooling coils and evaporators is not required to be collected and conveyed to an on-site cooling tower: provided 1.1 through 1.3 are met:
1.1 The equipment comprises 10% or less of the total capacity of the cooling tower system 1.2 The equipment is located in an isolated or remote area 1.3 The size of the equipment is 65,000 Btu/hr or less
2. In existing buildings condensate may be collected and conveyed to a cooling tower or discharged to an approved place of disposal.
[M] 314.2.2 Drain pipe materials and sizes. Components of the condensate disposal system shall be cast iron, galvanized steel, copper, cross-linked polyethylene, polyethylene, ABS, CPVC or PVC or polypropylene pipe or tubing. All components shall be selected for the pressure and temperature rating of the pressure and temperature rating of the installation. Joints and connections shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of Chapter 7 relative to the material type. Condensate waste and drain line size shall be not less than 3/4-inch (19.1 mm) internal diameter shall not decrease in size from the drain pan connection to the place of the condensate disposal. Where the drain pipes from more than one unit are manifolded together for condensate drainage, the pipe or tubing shall be sized in accordance with Table 314.2.2.

[M] 314.2.3 Auxiliary and secondary drain systems. In addition to the requirements of Section 314.2.1, where damage to any building components could occur as a result of overflow from the equipment primary condensate removal system, one of the following auxiliary protection methods shall be provided for each cooling coil or fuel-fired appliance that produces condensate:
1. An auxiliary drain pan with a separate drain shall be provided under the coils on which condensation will occur. The auxiliary pan drain shall discharge to a conspicuous point of disposal to alert occupants in the event of a stoppage of the primary drain. The pan shall have a depth of not less than 11/2 inches (38 mm), shall be not less than 3 inches (76 mm) larger than the unit or the coil dimensions in width and length and shall be constructed of corrosion-resistant material. Galvanized sheet metal pans shall have a thickness of not less than 0.0236-inch (0.6010 mm) (No. 24 gage) galvanized sheet metal. Nonmetallic pans shall have a thickness of not less than 0.0625-inch (1.6 mm)
2. A separate overflow drain line shall be connected to the drain pan provided with the equipment. Such overflow drain shall discharge to a conspicuous point of disposal to alert occupants in the event of a stoppage of the primary drain. The overflow drain
