A refrigerator must drain into which of the following?

A refrigerator typically drains condensation, which must be disposed of properly to prevent water accumulation and potential damage. The most suitable option for this purpose is an open floor drain.

The reason an open floor drain is the correct choice lies in its design and function. Open floor drains effectively handle excess water that can accumulate from refrigeration systems. They are usually installed in areas where water or condensation may collect, allowing for immediate drainage and preventing potential hazards, such as slips or water damage.

While other choices like private drainage or septic tanks may seem feasible, they do not directly address the specific need for draining condensate from a refrigerator effectively. A closed drainage system is not appropriate for this type of drainage because it requires a controlled, confined means of waste disposal that wouldn’t accommodate the natural flow generated by condensation without the risk of blockage or overflow.
