Care should be taken when siting the trap such that the
overflow outlet is readily visible and that any condensate
overflowing from the outlet cannot cause either a hazard
to persons or damage to surrounding property or
equipment.
IMPORTANT: The trap MUST be checked at regular
intervals (e.g. on every annual service) and cleaned
as necessary to ensure that it is clear and able to
operate.
SEE FIG. 27
To keep external pipework to a minimum, locate the
soakaway as close as possible to the boiler whilst
ensuring it is located clear of building foundations and
other services, e.g. gas, electricity, etc.
The soakway should be located at least 500mm from any
adjacent building.
Ensure that the drainage holes in the soakaway tube face
away from the building.
Only use a soakaway where the soil is porous and drains
easily.
Do not use in clay soils or where the soil is
poorly drained.
Back-fill the hole around the soakaway tube with 10mm
limestone chippings.
