C. CONDENSATE DRAIN PIPING
1.
Material
: The condensate drain is to be piped using
PVC, polypropylene, or other material resistant
to acidic condensate. Do not use steel, brass, or
galvanized pipe for this purpose. The acidic condensate
will attack most metals and cause corrosion.
2.
Tubing Size
: The connection at the rear of the heat
exchanger is designed for connection to 3/4” ID
PVC or similar tubing. Do not reduce the size of the
condensate drain tubing.
3.
Tubing Pitch
: Be sure that the pipe or tubing is
pitched away from the boiler with a slope of no less
than 1/4” per foot.
4.
Multiple Boilers
: Condensate drain tubes from
multiple boilers should be run separately to prevent
a nuisance lockout of multiple boilers due to a single
clogged drain tube.
5.
Condensate Pumps
: If the boiler drain is below the
level of a gravity drain, a condensate pump should be
used. Table 6.1 lists several available brands. Contact
your PB Heat, LLC Distributor for availability.
