FOB Drain Set-up

[edramshaw]

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to construct a drain system for the bleed valve on a FOB. All the accounts I service have the short hoses on the end but one wants me to set it up so it drains into one bucket. I've got the ID of the hose and the fittings but my question is this; Can I set the system up so that the lines are all perpendicular (see attached picture A) or does the bottom hose need to be angled to permit draining (as in B)? Thanks for the input and pardon my crude diagram.

you need to have just a slight angle on it not much though and also if possible why not just go ahead and drain it to the floor drain

Just a slight angle is needed. I don't use fittings, I use a piece of 3/8ths tubbing and drill a small hole on an angle and squeese the Tiny FOB hose into the line and drain it into an old SS soda tank of their is no floor drain

So just enough of an angle so that the waste drips down the tube is it? Thanks for the help guys!

Preferably a 1/4" drop per foot for proper draining. At times you may be able to join the condensate drain line for the evaporator pan. 1/4" ID vinly line with 1/4" plastic "T"s work quite well. Normally do not need to clamp. Always push vent while cleaning and then rinse as well to keep vent and plumbing free from sticking and blockage.
