6.13 Condensate Piping
• Use materials acceptable to authority having jurisdiction. In
absence of such authority:
• USA - PVC or CPVC per ASTM D1785/D2845 Cement or
primer per ASME D2564 or F493.
• No external trap needed
if the drain line is connected
to an open drain or condensate pump. If the boiler is
plumbed directly to a drain line in the building follow
local code on the installation of an external trap
.
• Connect condensate piping to 3/4" PVC for 160/200 or
1/2" PVC for 125/150 as shown.
• Slope condensate drain pipe minimum 1/4" per foot
(21mm/m) away from boiler.
• Support condensate pipe to eliminate any sagging.
•
Use field source condensate pump, designated for use with
condensing boiler, if boiler located below disposal point.
•
Condensate pump should have overflow switch.
Condensate from Boiler is slightly acidic and may cause
property damage if overflow.
• Manufacturer recommends the installation of a condensate
neutralizer for all installations. Follow local code when to
determine if a condensate neutralizer is required.
