I'm not familiar with this appliance. However:

Is there a way to route the tube in such manner as no trap is formed? The
first bend in the tube can be directed up higher than the supply tube, then
routed to the switch?

Water vapor is a byproduct of combustion. If over time it condenses in the
tube during <off> cycles, that in itself is not necessarily a showstopper,
if the tube can be routed so that condensate during <off> cycles can drain
back to the supply tube.

I could be wrong.

        You figure you know more and better about the design of this
unit than the folks who built it ? Maybe you could hire on as an
engineer for them ???
