Good short description of components. To the point.

Gas line missing the drip leg/ sediment trap

[@stevebabiak6997]

Was that furnace a condensing furnace? If so, the pan needs to be larger than what was in this video - the pan has to be under all components that can have condensation, not just the cooling coil.

Awesome !

the system is not missing a sediment trap, it was installed inside the cabinet. You can so the cap exiting the bottom of the furnace.

ezDwm Great catch! Thanks for the feedback!

[@cleanuppros]

How did you know it was a split system 😭 a little overwhelmed right now hvac is so extensive haha

[@buildingcodeeducation9524]

Veritas Without going into too much explanation this system can be identified as a split system because it has more than one component. The condenser/compressor is located outside and air handler/furnace is inside the attic. Just think when the HVAC system includes multiple components then it is a “split system”.
