4.7 CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP
Benchmark boilers contain a condensate trap (P/N
24441
), located external to the unit and
attached to the drain connection from the exhaust manifold at the rear of the unit (shown in
Figure 2-6a and 2-6b of the
Benchmark 750 – 3000 Installation and Startup Guide
, OMM-0131
(GF-205-LA)). This trap should be inspected and cleaned in accordance with the maintenance
schedule shown in Table 4-1, above, to ensure proper operation.
To inspect and clean the trap, proceed as follows:
Condensate Drain Trap Maintenance Instructions
1. Disconnect the external condensate trap by loosening and then removing connections on
the inlet and outlet sides of the condensate trap (see Figure 4-7).
2. Loosen the four (4) thumbscrews securing the trap’s cover and then remove the cover and
the O-ring from under the cover.
3. Remove the float and then thoroughly clean the trap and float. Also inspect the drain piping
for blockage. If the trap cannot be thoroughly cleaned, replace the entire trap (P/N
24441
).
4. Replace the float, install the O-ring (P/N
