Material for condensate
NOTE
Ensure that the condensate trap is filled with
water.
The condensate drainage pipe should be run in a standard
drain pipe material, e.g. PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PVC-U
(unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), BS (acrylonitrile-butadienes-
tyrene), PP (polypropylene polyprolene) or PVC-C (cross-
linked polyvinyl chloride).
The condensate drain can be attached to the syphon (fig. 7).
Any internal pipework should be of a diameter to match the
requirements of the condensate exit pipe on the appliance.
Internal termination to internal stack
The condensate drainage pipe should have a minimum
outside diameter of 1" with no length restriction. It should incor-
porate a trap with a 75 mm condensate seal and be connected
to the stack at a point at least 450 mm above the invert of the
stack. The trap built into the boiler will provide this 75 mm
(fig. 8) condensate seal.
External termination via internal branch (e.g. sink waste)
The condensate drainage pipe should have a minimum
outside diameter of 1" with no length restriction. The connec-
tion should preferably be made downstream of the sink waste
trap. If the connection is only possible upstream, then the air
break is needed between the two traps. This is normally
provided by the sink waste pipe (see fig. 9 and 10).
