I am curious to find out if anyone else has come across this issue. I have been doing HVAC work *both commercial and residential* for about 9 yrs now and have never come across the problem i did today. After installing two 5 ton rooftop units and getting the inspector to approve it, he came back saying that he could not pass it unless i had a float switch on both units. I have never had to install a float switch on a package unit before and i thought this was a little crazy. The job was in Ky, so i'm not sure if anyone in other states has any information on this or if this inspector was just being ridiculous. I do not know of any code that requires a rooftop package unit to have a float switch installed.

All i can say great Idea!
this should be a factory design issue. either way not a big dealAMEN, I have not heard of this before, but it comes down to the inspector. I would nicely ..Niiiiicely..ask show me the code. They are human of course. But it wouldn't surprise me. In some places they will not let you to drain condensate off on the roof or in the storm drains. it has to be piped to the sewer. It amazes me, Man makes the rules and than wonders why the cost of stuff keeps rising.
