Figure 1: Condensate Neutralization Tank (P/N 89030) Dimensions
The inlet connection (6.5") is higher than the outlet connection (6.3"). Set the neutralization tank
on a secure and level base. Connections to the appliance and neutralization kit must be installed
to ensure that no condensate backflow can occur. Connect appliance condensate drain to the
inlet using corrosion resistant piping. Do not route the condensate line through any area that is
exposed to freezing temperatures. If traffic poses a risk, install some protection to prevent
movement and/or damage. Mount as per installation diagram. Ensure that no air pockets will
remain or form in the piping and that the condensate will flow freely from the appliance condensate
drain into the tank and then to the drain. Access to the discharge is necessary for proper
maintenance in order to check the effectiveness of the neutralizing media, using pH test strips.
If there is no gravity drain available or if the boiler/water heater cannot be elevated to be higher
than the Neutralization Tank, install a condensate removal pump designed for use on condensing
boilers and furnaces (Figure 4).
