Abstract

To provide a drain trap for an air conditioner which enables easy attachment of a first cover part and a second cover part to a body.SOLUTION: A drain trap 2 for an air conditioner includes: a body 14 having an inflow port 34 into which drain water discharged from an air conditioner 4 flows, a storage space 30 in which the drain water flowing from the inflow port 34 is stored, and an outflow port 40 from which the drain water stored in the storage space 30 flows to the outside; a first cover part 22 which covers a first area of an outer surface of the body 14 so as to form an air layer 86 with the first area; a second cover part 24 which covers a second area of the outer surface of the body 14 so as to form an air layer 96 with the second area; a first joint member 26 attached to the inflow port 34; and a second joint member 28 attached to the outflow port 40. The first cover part 22 and the second cover part 24 are fixed to the body 14 respectively by the first joint member 26 and the second joint member 28.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
