Heater in Crawlspace
Should there be a catch pan under the evaporator coil? I know the drain line should be routed to an approved location, but I'm not sure if a catch pan is required.

Re: Heater in Crawlspace
never see them around here, may want to check to see if the drain is not blocked , so you know the water is going to an outside location

A secondary drain pan is the least of this installations problems. I would first be concerned with the mold issues that are shown. The condensate is totally wrong, running trap, secondary piped to nowhere, lack of insulation on the suction line. I could smell the mold just looking at the picture, it can't be a healthy home.

No, an auxiliary pan under the unit is not required.
I know the drain line should be routed to an approved location,
That secondary condensate line is either: a) sucking in all that undesirable crawl space air - YECCH!; or b) blowing out conditioned air - what a waste ... i.e., the secondary condensate line also requires a trap.
