6. Installing Vent/Combustion Air & Condensate Drain
Section VI: Installing Vent / Combustion Air & Con-
densate Drain
6.1 Installing Vent & Combustion Air
The CHALLENGER must be vented and supplied with com-
bustion air as shown in the CHALLENGER PVC, CPVC, PP
and SS Vent Supplement included in the installation en-
velope. Refer to instructions for parts list and method of
installation. Once installation is completed, inspect the
vent and combustion air system thoroughly to ensure
systems are airtight and comply with the instructions
given in the venting supplement and are within all re-
quirements of applicable codes. Failure to comply with
the installation requirements of the venting and combus-
tion air piping will result in substantial property damage,
serious injury, or death.
Contact ACV - Triangle Tube for other venting options in-
cluding PVC Concentric Vent/Air Termination or CHAL-
LENGER Concentric Vent/Air System. Refer to these
instructions for parts list and method of installation.
6.2 Installing Condensate Drain Assembly
Locate the condensate trap assembly and cut the top with a
1.
hacksaw or knife and install as shown in Fig. 9.
The installer must fill the condensate trap with water
prior to assembling on the appliance. Do not operate ap-
pliance without factory supplied condensate trap in-
stalled on appliance.
DANGER
NOTICE
NOTICE
For the CHALLENGER CC125Hs and CC150s, a large con-
densate trap (9.25” [ 235 mm] long) is used. Refer to Fig.
25 on page 47 for appropriate part numbers. Using the
standard condensate trap (4.75” [ 120 mm] long) on
these models is prohibited and can result in substantial
property damage, serious injury, or death.
Remove front door and install trap. Ensure the trap is
2.
completely seated and secure on the appliance.
Connect 13/16” ID tubing to the drain barbed fitting on the trap
3.
assembly.
The drain line materials must be an approved material by
the authority having jurisdiction. In absence of such au-
thority, PVC and CPVC piping must comply with ASTM
D1785 or D2845. The cement and primer used on the pip-
ing must comply with ASME D2564 or F493. For installa-
tions in Canada, use ULC certified PVC or CPVC pipe,
fittings, and cement/primer.
Continue the tubing from the trap assembly to a floor drain or
4.
condensate pump.
When selecting and installing a condensate pump, ensure
the pump is approved for use with condensing appli-
ances. The pump should be equipped with an overflow
switch to prevent property damage from potential con-
densate spillage.
The CHALLENGER will typically produce a condensate that is
5.
considered slightly acidic with a pH content below 4.0. Install a
neutralizing filter if required.
The condensate drain must remain filled, unobstructed,
and allow unrestricted flow of condensate. The conden-
sate should not be subject to conditions where freezing
could occur. If the condensate is subjected to freezing or
becomes obstructed, it can leak, resulting in potential
water damage to the appliance and surrounding area.
