A neutralization of the condensate may
be required. It must be possible for
the condensate to visibly drain into a
funnel-siphon (2) at the installation site.

For condensate drainage, only

materials may be used. The drainage
must be carried out in a frost-free
space. The drainage pipe should have
a slope, so as to avoid a backwash of
the condensate.

operation, the build in siphon (1)

boilers contain a siphonic condensate
trap to collect and release condensate.
The amount of condensate formed is
determined by the type of boilers and
the water temperature produced by the
boiler.
Condensate pipework.
Press the supplied plastic ribbon
tube onto the condensate drain at the
bottom of the boiler. Connect the tube
to the main condensate drain (minimum
diameter= 40mm) by means of an open
connection to avoid sewage gasses
coming into the boiler.
Fit a pipe for the condensate drain
behind the hydraulic system. For that
