CHAPTER 5 - INSTALLING VENT/COMBUSTION AIR & CONDENSATE DRAIN
5.1.

Installing Vent and Combustion Air

DANGER
The PRESTIGE Excellence must be vented and
supplied with combustion air as shown in the
PRESTIGE Vent Supplement, included in the
installation envelope. Refer to instructions
for parts list and method of installation.
Once installation is completed, inspect the
vent and combustion air system thoroughly
to ensure systems are airtight, properly sup-
ported, and comply with the instructions giv-
en in the venting supplement and are within
all requirements of applicable codes. Failure
to comply with the venting and combustion
air piping installation requirements will re-
sult in substantial property damage, serious
injury, or death.
NOTICE
Contact ACV-Triangle Tube for other venting op-
tions including PVC Concentric Vent/Air Termi-
nation and Stainless Steel or PVC Flush Mount
Horizontal Terminations. Refer to the instruc-
tions included with these kits for method of in-
stallation.

Installing Condensate Drain Assembly

1. Locate the condensate drain assembly and ensure
the metal washer is installed as shown in Fig. 12 on
page 24.
NOTICE
The installer may want to fill the condensate
drain assembly with water prior to assembling
on the unit.
WARNING
Do not operate the boiler without the fac-
tory-supplied condensate drain assembly
installed. Operation of the boiler without
the condensate drain assembly installed can
result in property damage, serious injury, or
death.
2. Install the condensate drain assembly on the boiler
condensate drain by pushing the condensate drain
assembly up until it stops.
3. Tighten the condensate drain assembly retaining
nut.
WARNING
• Ensure installation of the condensate
drain assembly included the metal wash-
er. Failure to comply could result in the
assembly dislocating from the boiler. Dis-
location of the condensate drain assem-
bly can result in property damage, seri-
ous injury, or death.
• Ensure the condensate drain assembly
contains the plastic ball. Do not install
the condensate drain assembly if the ball
is lost or missing, replace the entire as-
sembly. Installing the condensate drain
assembly without the plastic ball can re-
sult in substantial property damage, seri-
ous injury, or death.
4. Remove the compression nut and rubber seal from
the condensate drain assembly drain outlet.
5. Slide the compression nut and rubber seal over the
3/4" x 2' flexible tube provided.
NOTICE
The use of 3/4" PVC or CPVC pipe is also accept-
able. If 3/4" pipe is used, deburr and chamfer
pipe to allow mating onto the drain assembly.
6. Thread the rubber seal into the compression nut
to ease installation of the tube to the condensate
drain assembly.
7. Seat the tube onto the condensate drain assembly
and tighten the compression nut. Hand tight only!
NOTICE
• The installer may opt to use 13/16" ID tub-
ing in lieu of provided tube.
• The drain line materials must be an ap-
proved material by the authority having
jurisdiction. In absence of such authority,
PVC and CPVC piping must comply with
ASTM D1785 or D2845. The cement and
primer used on the piping must comply
with ASME D2564 or F493. For installations
in Canada, use ULC certified PVC or CPVC
pipe, fittings and cement/primer.
