Condensate disposal
Condensate drain
1. This boiler is a high efficiency appliance that produces
condensate.
2. The bottom of the boiler has a 3/4 inch pipe for connection
of a 3/4 inch PVC pipe (FIG. 9-1).
3. Slope condensate tubing down and away from the boiler
into a drain or condensate neutralizing filter. Condensate
from the Epic Fire Tube will be slightly acidic (typically
with a pH from 3 to 5). Install a neutralizing filter if
required by local codes.
A Neutralizer Kit is available from the factory.
4. Do not expose condensate line to freezing temperatures.
5. Use only plastic tubing or piping as a condensate drain
line (FIG. 9-1).

required and tubing size may need to increase to 1 inch.
The condensate line must remain unobstructed, allowing free
flow of condensate. If condensate is allowed to freeze in the line
or if the line is obstructed in any other manner, condensate can
exit from the boiler tee, resulting in potential water damage to
property.
6. A condensate removal pump is required if the boiler is
below the drain. When installing a condensate pump, select
one approved for use with condensing boilers and furnaces.
The pump should have an overflow switch to prevent
property damage from condensate spillage.
