5.3 CONDENSATE DRAIN CONNECTION
The condensate drain is placed at the centre and at the bottom of the water heater and has a ¾ inch hose discharge.
Connect this flexible hose to a suitable drain point.
Use only plastic parts with the condensate drain.
Blockage of this drain may damage the water heater. The drain connection is correct when the condensate can be
seen flowing away.
Any damage caused by incorrectly installing the condensate drain WILL not be covered by
warranty.
There should be an open connection of the condensate hose into the drain. A possible under pressure in the
drainage system must never be allowed to cause drain water to pull into the water heater.
When mounting the bottom part of the siphon, before commissioning the water heater and/or
after maintenance, the siphon must ALWAYS be completely filled with water.
This is a safety measure: the water in the siphon keeps the flue gases from entering the plant
room by leaving the heat exchanger via the condensate drain.
