Hi all-
ALMOST at 100% on our new system. Tech was over yesterday to finish the furnace install and commission the system, which he did.
Upon inspecting the work this morning I noticed one potential problem. See in the attached photo. Per the Carrier install manual, the relief tube between the collector box and condensate trap relief ports is missing.
He did start up, run, and check readings on the system yesterday so it does run without this connection made, however it clearly should be there and isn't.
So my question for you all is, how important is that tube? Is it safe to run the furnace tonight (we're expecting temps in the low 50s/upper 40s) if needed? Or should I wait until I can get the installer back for yet another visit (this would be number 8 on the install) before running it again?
Thanks.
