Condensate Trap Removal, Inspection & Replacement
The condensate trap has a self-priming trap that safely removes condensate from the water
heater. If the condensate is not removed from the water heater, it will accumulate and
eventually produce an error code. This condensate trap is field serviceable and can be
removed for inspection if this condition exists.
Step 1.
Disconnect the clear tube that allows the
condensate to come into the condensate tee
from the exhaust and blower assembly.
Step 2.
Disconnect the mate to the condensate trap
discharge. Note if water can flow through
the condensate line attached to the
condensate tee. If water cannot flow through
line, remove obstruction.
Step 3.
Loosen the hose clamps connecting the
condensate tee to the back cover and the
vertical vent pipe.
Step 4.
Remove the condensate tee. Be aware that condensate is in the tee and take appropriate
measures.
Step 5.
Remove the bottom cap of the condensate tee and verify that there is no obstruction in the
trap.
Step 6.
Return the trap into service. Secure the bottom cap by screwing it in place.
Step 7.
Position the condensate back in place, securing the hose clamps on the cover neck and
the vertical vent pipe assembly.
Step 8.
Connect the condensate discharge to the trap.
Step 9.
Connect the clear tube from the exhaust and
blower assembly to the condensate trap.
Step 10. Return the water heater into operation, following
the instructions located on the lighting instruction
label or the lighting instructions located in the
Installation and Operation manual.
