 Condensate Disposal

WARNING

      Asphyxiation Hazard.

                                  

Failure to install condensate drain in 

accordance with instructions outlined below 

could cause products of combustion and/or 

carbon monoxide to enter building, resulting 

in severe personal injury, death or substantial 

property damage.

!

1.  This high efficiency boiler produces condensate.

 

NOTICE:  

 

 Condensate is corrosive. Use only 

materials listed by authority having jurisdiction. In 

absence of such requirements, PVC and CPVC 

pipe may be used.

2.  3/4" PVC condensate drain connection can be 

solvent welded.

3.  Condensate disposal considerations:
 

A.  If required by local codes, install neutralizing  

 

filter. Neutralizing kit P/N 101897-01 is    

 

available from manufacturer.

 

B.  Do not route or terminate condensate drain  

 

line piping through an area that is prone  

 

to freezing temperatures or that could    

 

be damaged by leaking condensate.

3/4" PVC Connection

Condensate Trap Vent

Condensate Trap Cleanout

 

C.  If point of condensate disposal is above trap,  

 

it will be necessary to use a condensate  

 

pump to move condensate from boiler to  

 drain.

 

 

In such cases, select a condensate pump that  

 

is listed for use with condensing boilers.

 

 

Select a pump with an overflow switch to  

 

prevent property damage from condensate.

 

D.  Barbed fitting on bottom panel is connected  

 

to trap vent and must be unobstructed for trap  

 

to work properly.

 

NOTICE:  

 

 If condensate drain line becomes 

obstructed, boiler may leak from condensate 

trap vent. Consider installing drain pan directly 

below boiler if such a leak could cause property 

damage. Pipe drain pan drain to suitable location.
