Condensate Disposal
Over time, blockage of the trap by debris may occur; when the condensate cannot be released, the unit will go
into error and will shut down. When this occurs, the trap must be cleaned.
Cleaning Out The Condensate Trap
The condensate trap must be  lled with water prior to using the water heater.
Pour water down the exhaust adaptor until water visibly flows out of the
condensate drain before
 rst use.
□
To Remove Trap
1. Remove clip securing trap to the nipple.
2. Gently pull trap body downwards to remove.
The condensate trap must be  lled and unobstructed to allow unrestricted  ow of condensate. The condensate
should not be subject to conditions where freezing could occur. If the condensate is subjected to freezing or
obstruction, it will result in potential water damage to the water heater and surrounding area.
CAUTION
! !
The condensate drain line material must be an approved material by the authority having jurisdiction. In absence
of such authority, PVC and CPVC piping must comply with ASTM D1785 or D2846. This pipe must be connected
to the condensate trap. The end of the pipe should drain to a laundry tub or to a
 oor drain.
NOTICE
! !
1/2" PVC (SCH40, ASTM-D1785)
or
1/2" CPVC (SDR11, ASTM-D2846)
Eternal water heater will typically produce a condensate that is considered slightly acidic with a Ph content of
approximately 3-4. Install a neutralizing
 lter if required by authority having jurisdiction (See  gure above).
Direct to drain from the unit.
Drain through neutralizer from the unit.
Drain to laundry tub from the unit. In this case, the unit must be higher then the laundry tub.
When installing a condensate pump, ensure the pump is approved for use with a condensing appliance.
The pump should be equipped with an over
 ow switch to prevent property damage from potential condensate
spillage.
