Condensate Trap and Drain Pipe
High efficiency gas condensing Boilers create
condensation when operating. Condensation has
acidic (pH) of approximately 4-5.
Condensate must be drained in accordance with all
local regulations. Follow your local code with regards
to the disposal of condensation.
One of 4 disposal methods must be followed
1. to floor drain
2. to neutralizer (optional kit)
3. to laundry tub
4. to condensate pump (field supplied)
If a neutralizer is installed, periodic replacement of the
lime stone (or neutralizing agent) will be required. The
rate of depletion of the lime stone varies upon usage
of the boiler. During the first year of operation, please
check the neutralizer every few months for depletion.
Apply only corrosion-resistant materials for the
condensate drain lines such as 1/2˝ PVC, CPVC,
Polypropylene pipe or included plastic hose.
NOTICE
Category II and IV boilers must be installed with a
means provided for the drainage of condensate.
AVIS
les chaudières de catégories II et IV doivent être
installées de façon à empêcher l'accumulation de
condensat; et
si nécessaire, les chaudières de catégories II et IV
doivent être pourvues de dispositifs d'évacuation du
condensat.
CAUTION
Condensate is mildly acidic (pH=5), and may harm
some floor drains and/or pipes, particularly those
that are metal. Ensure that the drain, drainpipe, and
anything that will come in contact with the condensate
can withstand the acidity, or neutralize the condensate
before disposal.
Damage caused by failure to install
a neutralizer kit or to adequately treat condensate
will not be the manufacturer’s responsibility.
