11.6 CONDENSATE NEUTRALIZERS
Some local codes may require the use of a condensate neutralizer. If the furnace condensate is to be routed to
a septic system, it may be advisable to use a condensate neutralizer.
When condensate neutralizers are used, it is advisable to install it with an over
fl
ow bypass tube.
A ½” PVC coupling or bushing will
fi
t snug over the ½” rubber hose. A ¾” CPVC coupling or bushing will
fi
t
snug over the 5/8” rubber hose. This method ensures a water tight seal and also allows the condensate trap to
be easily removed for service.
If extra security is desired, it is recommended to secure a strip of strapping around the drain. Utilize the exist-
ing condensate trap screws to secure the strapping.
