I will just interject here if you do not mind to add that you should NOT use bleach to keep the condensate pipe clear.

Pour a half gallon of hot, (not boiling) water down the pipe 3-4 times a year to clear out any obstructions. You could also pour a 1/2 cup of vinegar if you like.

Bleach can in extreme cases back up and damage your A-coil, etc.

Just a good flushing should be all you need.

Respectfully, Frank
