Intake diffuser, condensate trap and drain plug changes (steps 3-5)

What is going on

Relocate drain and vent parts on the collector box and jacket, then install the condensate trap and the intake air diffuser.

Check in this order

1. Relocate the 0.403 in drain plug in the collector box.
2. Relocate the 1/4 in yellow vinyl cap on the collector box vent tap.
3. Remove the metal bracket and the 0.403 in drain plug and discard them.
4. Remove hose A and discard it.
5. Install the 0.559 in condensate drain plug and the condensate trap gasket.
6. Install the condensate trap in the jacket with 3 screws.
7. Remove the rectangle flush mount plug from the jacket side and discard it.
8. Drill 3 holes of 1/8 in in the jacket for the condensate trap. Install the 2 in pipe grommet in the jacket.
9. Slide the air diffuser into the intake coupling, then install the coupling into the jacket as shown and fully seat the diffuser.
10. Install the condensate trap during a later step if you want to avoid damaging it, after the unit is rotated.
