Section 2 — Installation
Note: To ensure compliance
with regulations, it is
important to contact the
responsible authorities
prior to the planning and
execution of the boiler
installation. Condensate
flow of 5 to 12 GPH can
be expected depending
on boiler size and return
water temperature.

1. Condensate tank setup options

The boiler is supplied with boiler legs (standard) which are sized to
permit the installation of the condensate collection tank. There are
two (2) condensate removal options available:
(1) Condensate direct to drain - The condensate is piped directly to
a drain through the piping and water trap supplied during
installation (see Figure 2-37).
• Piping is to be a minimum of 3/4" NPT.
• Maximum discharge pipe height from floor to be 9".
• Condensate water trap (6") required.
(2) Condensate to treatment tank - The condensate is held in a
condensate tank under the boiler. The condensate is neutralized as
it passes through the granular bed. The neutralized condensate is
then piped to the drain.
• To install the system, assemble the tank and neutralization granulate per
Figure 2-38. 4 bags of neutralization media are sufficient to fill the tank.
• Install the condensate tank cover and slide the complete assembly under
the boiler

The neutralization media will require periodic replacement, to be
detemined by pH analysis of condensate. If condensate is too acidic
(pH is below acceptable value) the neutralization media should be
replaced.
The neutralizing media should be gently agitated periodically to
ensure even distribution and to avoid channeling of the condensate.
