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. 9-1).
3. Slope condensate tubing down and away from the boiler
into a drain or condensate neutralizing filter. Condensate
from the Cadet heating boiler 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 (KIT3087).
4. Do not expose condensate line to freezing temperatures.
5. Use only plastic tubing or piping as a condensate drain
line (FIG. 9-1).

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.
