This is for the condensation from the AC system to drain. What is happening in your case is that the heater core is leaking and radiator fluid is draining out the AC condensation drain.

Why does my gas water heater need to be hooked up to a 30 amp breaker with 220 volts?

I think you need to do some checking, A GAS water heater does not normally need electrical service that large- an ELECTRIC water heater will. So- just what do you have- gas or electric?


New Teledyne Laars gas pool heater Can you tell me what the initial startup process is?

Use the manual provided with the heater. Each heater has somewhat different controls etc. If everything is already hooked up you may just have to turn a switch or two and turn up the thermostat.


How is someone supposed to change the heater core in a 1994 ford escort?

remove;steering coulumn,instrament cluster.dash,and heater -a/c box also drain coolant and freon it takes a PRO ABOUT 8 HOURS!!!! I just replaced my heater core in my 1995 ford escort. You have to take the dash completely out of the car, unhook your negative battery cable, then unhook the hoses on the back firewall, there will be 2 about right in the center of the firewall, they are hooked to your heater core. While you are under the hood, unclip the speedometer cable(needs to be done to get the cluster panel out.) You have to drop your steering wheel before you can get the cluster panel out, take out the cluster panel, radio, heater controls, glove box. The core is IN the plastic housing, so the housing has to come out to change it. Lots of screws and wires to keep track of, so make sure you remember where everything goes. Took me quite awhile, but saved me about $500.00 to do it myself. Denise

How do you bypass a 1996 ford escort heater core?

try from the motor compartment? I just replaced my heater core in my 1995 ford escort. You have to take the dash completely out of the car, unhook your negative battery cable, then unhook the hoses on the back firewall, there will be 2 about right in the center of the firewall, they are hooked to your heater core.

Took me quite awhile, but saved me about $500.00 to do it myself. Denise To add to the above answer, you also have to remove the glove compartment/box. You should be able to see the heater core housing clearly then. To by-pass it you have to unhook both hoses going into the firewall on the passenger side of the engine compartment. Get a hose connector from a parts store or home improvement store. One for a garden hose will work also. Connect those two hoses together. Make sure you use hose clamps. You now bypassed the heater core.
