13. Installing Condensate Drain Piping
(Figure 3b)
a) A condensate collecting tank and condensate pump will be required if a floor drain is not
available to discharge to (Collecting tank and pump are not supplied with the boiler).
Complete condensate drain kits are available from Fulton.
1. All piping must be galvanized or stainless steel and should be free of
leaks.
2. Make sure either elastomer coated fiberglass cubes or spring mounts
have been installed under each leg of the boiler.
3. Install the condensate piping to the condensate drain in the lower right
hand side of the boiler.
4. Connect 3/4" condensate drain(s) to the 1" header connected in a
manifold as shown in Figure 3b. The header must be at least 5 1/2"
below the condensate outlet of the individual boiler and must remain
flooded by being at least 5 ½” below the outlet of the condensate drain
trap..
5. Connect 1 1/2" drain outlet to an appropriate waste line following
applicable codes. The 11/2" drain connection on the condensate drain
must be the highest point prior to going to the drain. Failure to keep drain
piping lower than this point will result in overflow of the condensate drain.
Slope the drain pipe away at a minimum pitch of 1" for every 12 feet.
