Return on steam coils

I'm in the process of replacing a rather large steam coiling a church. A/C also. Very little room anywhere. My concern is getting the condensate back to the return main. Iso there a recommended drop from the coil outlet, to the F&T trap? I have very little room from walls and ceilings.

If you can drop more than 1' do it. There is no maximum, more is better. If you need to extend farther out from the coil with a nipple and a coupling you can. Make sure to put a vacuum breaker on the coil. The vac breaker (I use a 1/2 or 3/4 inch Y pattern check valve) should be installed either between the control valve and the coil inlet or between the trap and the coil outlet. Either way point the tee straight up and use a long nipple or pipe and get the vac breaker up high away from any condensate. Use 45s to get around obstructions. Put the vac breaker up high.
Most important if this coil will EVER handle air below freezing use a freeze stat which should OPEN the control valve wide open and shut down the fan and close the outside air damper.
a trap will lift condensate to a return but this should be avoided if at all possible and absolutely do not lift condensate if the coil handle air below freezing temps. Doing this helps prevent frozen coils
I'm also thinking that F&Ts don't need a cooling leg since they discharge on a mechanical float not a thermostat, so you can place it close to the outlet of the coil.
if it has froze up that has to be adressed
side note: the reason you want to drop out of the coil to a trap is so that coil is full of steam and no condensate, if the trap is close to the outlet you'll have condensate in the coil and the rated output will be lower
Unless I'm missing something. Thanks.
