VIII. Condensate disposal (continued)
C. Condensate Neutralizer Installation
1. Some jurisdictions may require that the condensate
be neutralized before being disposed of. Follow
local codes pertaining to condensate disposal.
2. A condensate neutralizer kit is available from
factory as optional equipment. Refer to Table 19 for
size specific part number. Follow local codes and
instructions enclosed with the kit for condensate
neutralizer installation.
3. Limestone chips will get coated by neutral
salts (product of chemical reaction between
limestone and acidic condensate) and lose
neutralizing effectiveness over time. Therefore,
periodic condensate neutralizer maintenance and
limestone chip replacement are required for proper
neutralization of the condensate.

D. Common Condensate pump/Sump
1. A common condensate pump/sump may be used.
Run separate piping from each condensate drain
to the sump. A common drain may be used to
discharge condensate from the sump.
2. If a common sump is used, individual drain lines
should be constructed, using material listed above,
such that one drain cannot back feed into another
drain.
3. Do not manifold condensate and vent drains
together.

WARNING
WARNING
!
Failure to fill the condensate trap with water
prior to start-up could cause flue gas to enter the
building, resulting in personal injury or death.
Failure to install the condensate drain in accordance
with the above instructions could cause flue gas
to enter the building, resulting in personal injury
or death.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Flue gas condensate is corrosive. Route condensate
drain line in a manner such that any condensate
leakage will not cause property damage.
If the condensate line is obstructed in any way, the
float switch will prevent the appliance from firing.
Some jurisdictions may require that condensate
be neutralized prior to disposal.
The condensate drain trap should be flushed with
clean water as part of the appliance maintenance
schedule to remove any debris that might have
accumulated.
