JM neutralizing tube wall-mounted (or multiple tubes piped in 

parallel)

Y-fitting, 3/4: PVC minimum – locate a minimum of 2 inches above 

the neutralizing tube and so the overflow line is below the bottom of 

appliances condensate drain connection (item L)

Appliance condensate trap/condensate drain connection

Overflow drain line (terminate so flow from line is easily seen)

Floor drain, sump or condensate pump reservoir

Bottom of appliance condensate drain connection – all condensate 

piping and components must be below this level

Bottom of JM neutralizer tube outlet connection

Terminate the overflow line above the drain location so any flow 

from the line is easily visible

problems are noticed.

Maintenance

4

 

OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS — provide and install 

electric heat tape

 on the condensate drain lines 

and around the JM tube to prevent possibility 

of neutralizer tube damage or line blockage due 

to freezing. Failure to comply with the following 

guidelines could result in severe personal injury, 

death or substantial property damage.

Recharge as required

When pH tube or tank outlet falls below 

5PH. Local codes may have different 

requirement, check with local authority.

Replacement parts

Contact your local wholesaler or manu-

facturer’s representative for replacement 

parts.

Installation 

(continued)

Piping Options

Overflow by-pass piping

See Figure 4 and Figure 5 for installation with a y-fitting for 

an overflow by-pass line.

Locate the overflow discharge so flow can be easily seen. 

Instruct

the owner to notify the service technician immediately if 

flow through the overflow line is frequent or steady.

Make sure the installation complies with all local code 

requirements.

Piping for multiple boilers/furnaces

Use separate neutralizer for common vent drain.

As stated on page 2, do not connect a flue pipe condensate 

line to the to the same neutralizer as used for a boiler/furnace

unless the boiler/furnace is individually vented, the vent will 

not allow rain water to enter the flue pipe, and no other 

appliance is connected to the same neutralizer tube.
