Before installation of a HRV, I meet with the HVAC sub and plumber in the basement after framing. We discuss location of unit and provide for a drain pipe at that location which connects to the floor drain. Viewing all the obstacles on site prevents a wrong location for HRV and drain.

Does anyone know the proper way to dispose of the drip waste from an HRV? I'm looking for some method that complies with the UPC and UMC.
