Condensate drain and piping
The SSB boiler is designed to condense water vapor from the flue
products. Each module of the boiler is equipped with a condensate drain
system (see Fig. 18), connected to the condensate horizontal manifold.

WARNING: At the Start-up and after prolonged shutdown
a
of the boiler, the syphon must be filled with water prior to
restart it, otherwise combustion gases will enter the room
with a risk of an excessive level of carbon monoxide.
The procedure for filling the traps and syphon with water is shown on the

• The installation must have provisions for suitable drainage or
collection of the condensate out of the boiler traps.
• The condensate water shall be discharged at atmospheric pressure,
by dripping into a suitable drain, and shall be neutralized prior to
draining per local codes.
• The condensate drain tube must pitch away from the boiler (1/4" slope
per foot) and must never reduce its diameter downstream.
• Never use copper pipes or of other material not intended for the
specific purpose, because the action of condensate will cause a rapid
deterioration.
• Check that the condensate drain pipe is adequately sloping towards
the discharge point avoiding high points, which can inhibit the flow of
condensate. The condensate pipe must be installed in such a way so
as to avoid the freezing of the liquid.
WARNING: Verify condensate disposal / neutralization is in
a
accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
If a floor drain is not available, a condensate pump can be used to
remove the condensate to drain. The maximum condensate flow rate is
6.2 GPH for SSB 800 SA and 7.9 GPH for SSB 1000 SA / 1000 TL. The
drain line must be removable for routine maintenance.
CAUTION: Use PVC, CPVC, stainless steel, aluminum or
a
polypropylene for condensate drain piping (Fig. 20). DO
NOT use carbon or copper components.

Electrical Connection
The voltage configuration of SSB 800 SA, 1000 SA and 1000 TL is as
follows:
• 120VAC, 1-Phase, 60 Hz
Each boiler must be connected to a dedicated electrical circuit.
NO OTHER DEVICES SHOULD BE ON THE SAME ELECTRICAL
CIRCUIT AS THE BOILER .
