6.10 Condensate Piping

• Use materials acceptable to authority having jurisdiction. In
absence of such authority:
• USA - PVC or CPVC per ASTM D1785/D2845 Cement or
primer per ASME D2564 or F493.
• Canada - CSA or ULC certified PVC/CPVC pipe, fittings
and cement.
• No external trap needed.
• Connect condensate hose, hose clamps, and coupling to
boiler drain trap as shown in figure 6-17.
• Connect condensate piping to 3/4" PVC for 165/205 or
1/2" PVC for 125/150 as shown.
• Slope condensate drain pipe minimum 1/4" per foot
(21mm/m) away from boiler.
• Support condensate pipe to eliminate any sages.
• Use field source condensate pump, designated for use with
condensing boiler, if boiler located below disposal point.
• Condensate pump should have overflow switch.
Condensate from Boiler is slightly acidic and may cause
property damage if overflow.
• Field source condensate neutralizing kit as required
by authority having jurisdiction or for environmentally
friendly condensate disposal.
NOTICE
Manufacturer requires an air vent be used to prevent
condensate line vacuum lock.
