Why should a horizontal air handler not be pitched toward the drain port for proper condensate removal?

  1. To increase noise levels

  2. To improve energy efficiency

  3. To prevent proper drainage

  4. False

The correct answer is: False

A horizontal air handler should not be pitched toward the drain port for proper condensate removal because this would be a false statement. In reality, horizontal air handlers should be pitched slightly downwards away from the drain port to ensure effective condensate drainage. If the unit is pitched towards the drain port, it can lead to improper water removal, causing potential leakage and reduced system efficiency. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as it highlights the incorrect pitch direction for a horizontal air handler.
