Remove the clean out cap on the bottom of the trap. Let
the condensate and any debris drain out.

Condensate drain
1. This boiler is a high efficiency appliance that produces
condensate.
2. The bottom of the boiler has a 3/4 inch pipe for
connection of a 3/4 inch PVC pipe (FIG. 2-2).
3. Slope condensate tubing down and away from the
boiler into a drain or condensate neutralizing filter.
Condensate from the Epic Fire Tube will be slightly
acidic (typically with a pH from 3 to 5). Install a
neutralizing filter if required by local codes.
A Neutralizer Kit is available from the factory.
4. Do not expose condensate line to freezing temperatures.
5. Use only plastic tubing or piping as a condensate drain
line (FIG. 2-2).

having jurisdiction. In the absence of other
authority, PVC and CPVC pipe must comply with ASTM
D1785 or D2845. Cement and primer must comply with ASME
D2564 or F493. For Canada use CSA or ULC certified PVC or
CPVC pipe, fittings, and cement.
To allow for proper drainage on large

horizontal runs, a second line vent may be
required and tubing size may need to increase to 1 inch.
The condensate line must remain unobstructed, allowing free
flow of condensate. If condensate is allowed to freeze in the line
or if the line is obstructed in any other manner, condensate can
exit from the boiler tee, resulting in potential water damage to
property.
6. A condensate removal pump is required if the boiler is
below the drain. When installing a condensate pump, select
one approved for use with condensing boilers and furnaces.
The pump should have an overflow switch to prevent
property damage from condensate spillage.
