4.5 Condensate Connections

Provision must be made for removal of condensate from the boiler and flue system.

An inline condense drain must be fitted immediately before the connection of the
flue system to the boiler and taken to drain. The flue system must not be allowed to
drain through the boiler flue manifold.

Condense is mildly acidic, typically pH3 - pH5.

Condense pipe work must be non-corrosive and not copper. Hamworthy
recommend plastic waste pipe.

Condense may be discharged to a standard drain subject to National or Local
regulations.

Location of condense pipe work should prevent freezing within tundishes, traps and
pipe work.

The connection to the boiler condense drain and flue condense drain, accepts a
straight push-fit coupling for 40mm o.d. plastic waste pipe.

Maximum condensate production—15 l/h per 100kW firing capacity
