6.9 CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP
Innovation Water Heaters contain a condensate trap, located external to the unit and attached to
the drain connection from the exhaust manifold. The location on the unit is shown in Chapter 2,
Figure 2-7. This trap should be inspected and, if necessary, cleaned to ensure proper operation.
To inspect and clean the trap, proceed as follows:
Condensate Trap Inspection and Cleaning
1.
Disconnect the external condensate trap by loosening and then removing connections on
the inlet and outlet sides of the condensate trap (see Figure 6-10).
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
84017
), and then replace the trap cover.
5.
Reassemble all piping and hose connections to the condensate trap inlet and outlet.
