Condensate drain on the exhaust air pipe

If M-WRG-II P ventilation units are used, a condensate drain should be provided. The 

M-WRG-II LR 50-KA set, part no. 735200, with the following components may be used for 

this purpose:

 

Outdoor air pipe, DN 100, 0.5 m (item 1 in Fig. 33)

 

Exhaust air pipe, DN 100, 0.5 m (item 2 in Fig. 33), with 1/2” male thread connection 

(item 3 in Fig. 33) and barrier (item 4 in Fig. 33) for retaining the condensate.

The condensate drain is not needed for M-WRG-II E units under the following conditions:

 

The ventilation unit is operated as described in “Intended use” (see section 2.5 on 

page 10) and the “Rules for correct usage” chapter of the operating instructions.

 

— There is no exceptional loading due to very high atmospheric humidity.

NOTICE

Note the following points when creating the condensate connection:

 

— The condensate drain is to be created by the customer.

 

— Prevent odour transfer by installing an odour trap.

 

— If possible, connect the condensate drain to a grey water or rainwater discharge.

 

In cold regions, protect the condensate drain pipe (item 5 in Fig. 33) against frost, 

e.g. by running it behind the facade insulation.
