Installing The Condensate Trap; Condensate Removal - Worcester GB162-65 Installation And Servicing Instruction

8.2.9

INSTALLING THE CONDENSATE TRAP

DANGER: Danger of fatal accident due to
poisoning.
B If the condensate trap is not filled with
water, flue gas can escape and put
people's lives at risk.
B Fill the condensate trap (supplied with the boiler)
with water ( fig. 16).

B Connect the condensate trap [1] to the condensate
drain outlet (CDO).
The trap is fitted with a bayonet connection.
After pushing [step 1] the trap upwards into
place, you have to turn it a ¼ turn
anticlockwise [step 2] until it locks into
position.

8.2.10 CONDENSATE REMOVAL

POSITIONING AND TERMINATION OF THE
CONDENSATE DRAIN PIPE
The condensate pipe should run and connected to the
6 720 648 726-016.1TD
internal sewage pipe in the house or waste pipe.
Alternatively, the condensate can be discharged into the
rainwater system if connected to a foul water draining
system, or into a purpose-made soak away (condensate
absorption point).
All connecting drainage pipework should generally have
a fall of at least 2.5° to the horizontal, or approximately
50 mm per metre of pipe run. If this is can-not be
achieved, consider the use of a sewage pump.
It should be noted that the connection of a condensate
pipe to a drain may be subject to local building controls.
MATERIAL FOR CONDENSATE
The condensate drainage pipe should be run in a
standard drain pipe material, e.g. PVC (polyvinyl
chloride), PVC-U (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), BS
6 720 648 726-017.1TD
(acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene), PP (polypropylene
polyprolene) or PVC-C (cross-linked polyvinyl chloride).
Any internal pipework should be of a diameter to match
the requirements of the condensate exit pipe on the
appliance.

WARNING:
Any external run must be insulated with
water proof insulation.
Ensure that the condensate trap is filled
with water.
