You can find further information in specification "BS 6798"
for installing and maintaining gas-fired boilers with a nominal
heat input below 70 kW.
7.11.1 Condensate discharge systems
The condensate is discharged periodically in ‘slugs’ by si-
phonic action. It is not necessary to provide extra traps in the
discharge pipe as there is already a 75 mm high trap inside
the boiler. Fitting an extra trap may cause the boiler siphon
to work incorrectly. Refer to BS5546 or BS6798 for further
advice on disposal of boiler condensate.
