Copper tubing will soon be outlawed by the EPA. You should check
with a local HVAC company, and see if you can get that all
replaced with PVC tubing. Cleaning the drain is a good idea.
Don't try to replace it yourself, you need a license. I know.

: Need some advice from someone familiar with a comfortmaker heat
pump
:
: My Daughter's Comfortmaker Heat Pump (approx. 12 years old) has
a PVC
: condensate drain at the evaporator coil but, in addition, has
two
: short 1/2" copper tubes protruding from the cabinet, one offset
and
: slightly above the other and both somewhat above the PVC Drain
pipe.
:
: They each protrude outside of the cabinet approx. 1" and are
open to
: the outside (disconnected). My daughter said there used to be a
blue
: plastic hose connecting the two but it has since deteriorated.
:
: Now, the condensate drains from the uppermost copper tube,
instead of
: being directed to the PVC Drain.
:
: Does anyone know what these two short copper tubes are for and
if and
: how they should be connected - if at all ?
:
: Meanwhile, I'm going today - to see if the PVC Drain is
clogged.
:
: Thanks for your help
:
: Bill
