My condensate drain line is clogged, and there's nowhere for me to access it to clear it out without seemingly removing the evaporator coil (which I'm not doing). The drain does go into a pump.
My main concern is the u-bend is at the top of the drain line, but my understanding from plumbing is that it should be at the bottom to let gravity help with moving water through the trap.
My thought was to use clear corrugated tubing from the drain pan to about a foot above the pump, then adding the bend, then a tee right after with a threaded plug that I can remove to snake the line if needed. I just wanted a sanity check before I started cutting. I can definitely ditch the clear tubing, I just thought it would help identify a clog location in the future.
