NOTICE
The condensate must be drained from the boiler
and from the flue in accordance with the appli-
cable rules and regulations.
No condensate drain is integrated into the boiler. It is
required to install the furnished 3" x ¾" drain tee as an
external condensate drain. See fig. 27. Install this drain tee
as close as possible to the boiler exhaust connection.
NOTICE
Use materials approved by the authority having
jurisdiction. In the absence of such authority,
PVC and CPVC pipe must comply with ASTM
D1785, F441 or D2665. Cement and primer
must comply with ASTM D2564 or F493.
For Canada, use CSA or ULC certified PVC or
CPVC pipe, fittings and cement.
If the condensate outlet of the boiler is lower than the drain,
a condensate pump must be used.
The condensate produced by the boiler has a pH value
between 3 and 4.
Install a neutralization unit if required by the local code.
