6.5.8.1 Condensation drain with natural gradient
It is essential that a condensation drain is connected and appropriate fixed to a Venkon condensation drain connector (drain
size 15 mm). Ensure that the gradient is at least 1 cm/m, without restrictions and without rising sections of pipe to ensure the
drainage of condensate from the basic unit (in accordance with DIN EN 12056; formerly: DIN 1986-100). Take into account
all applicable regulations, such as the use of a ball trap, when connecting the condensation line to the sewer system. Protect
the trap from drying out. The suction effect of the fan on the condensation drain neck could otherwise produce troublesome
odours. Consider using water vapour-impermeable insulation depending on the pipe material used for the condensation
drain. You will need a condensation pump (optional accessories) should a natural gradient be impossible on site. This is used
to pump the condensate into higher collection or discharge equipment. When delivered, the condensation pump and float
switch is factory-fitted to the unit.
