That drain pipe is meant to remove condensed water from the chmber where the air is blown through the system, if there is air coming through there it just means there is no water in the line that has condensed. many units turn the drain tube upward slightly so a little water always stays in the pipe pereventing the escape of cold air. It works like a P trap on your sink.
The formula for this goes like this: radius of the pipe squared (32) x pi (3.1416) x length of pipe (12) = volume (amount of water). So 32 x 3.1416 x 12 = 339.2928 or about 339.3 cubic inches.
Flexible PVC
PVC plastic would be the best insulator.
There are various densities of PVC, so this is impossible to answer.
Thank you.
To seal a PVC drain pipe with a cap, the best way is to apply PVC primer and cement to the pipe end and inside the cap, then firmly press the cap onto the pipe and hold it in place for a few seconds to allow the adhesive to set. This creates a strong and watertight seal for the drain pipe.

Use PVC for the drain line. It does not require insulation.
The best method for installing a PVC shower drain in a bathroom renovation project is to carefully measure and cut the PVC pipe to fit the drain opening, apply PVC primer and cement to the pipe and fittings, and securely connect them together. Make sure the drain is level and properly sealed to prevent leaks.
pvc flue pipe and has a condensate drain
Sched. 40 PVC.
Probably the wrong size flange. Is the flange a toilet collar? If so the pipe is probably 4 inch.
Basement, if any, will oft times have PVC piping used for drain lines in it, if codes allow PVC piping.
To install a PVC drain cap securely and effectively, first ensure the pipe is clean and dry. Apply PVC primer and cement to both the pipe end and the cap, then firmly press the cap onto the pipe and hold in place for a few seconds. Allow the cement to dry completely before using the drain.
I don't understand why you'd want to do that . CPVC glue is expensive, PVC glue is cheap and glues PVC pipe better.
No it's ABS;Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
Yes, you can attach PVC pipe to ceramic pipe with a fernco. You just have to make sure the inside diameters of the fernco match up with the pipes you are joining.
