Condensate pump without cord and plug

[carlosgw]

Cord and plug cords can not be installed above suspended ceiling. Condensate pumps need to be installed above the ceiling all the time. Do you know a condensate pump without a cord and plug?

I think most condensate pumps are hard-wired. You mean a condensate pump for a cooling coil above ceiling, like in a VRF system?

I am sure many manufacturer's have hard wired pumps. The one I am familiar with does: Hartell

I mean a small pump serving a one coil (in my current application- a furnace). Most come with a plug and cord. Including Hartell (that I saw). I am concerned that changing to hard wired in the field will affect the UL listing).

You must be asking about cooling condensate pumps.

Steam driven condensate pumps w/o cord and plug are common.

scroll through the Hartell catalog, they have hard wired small condensate pumps

Since you also need to run a secondary pan drain down to a "conspicuous place", why not run the main drain to a pump that's in a closet or mechanical room? These pumps are not "industrial grade" in many respects, potential for failure and a wet ceiling is very real.
