will be required if a fl oor drain is not available to discharge to (Collecting
tank and pump are not supplied with the boiler). Complete condensate
drain kits are available from Fulton.
Install Condensate Drain Piping
Adhere to the following when installing condensate drain piping:
1. All piping must be galvanized or stainless steel and should be free of leaks.
2. Make sure either elastomer coated fi berglass cubes or spring mounts have
been installed under each leg of the boiler.
3. Install the condensate piping to the condensate drain in the lower right
hand side of the boiler.
4. Connect 3/4” condensate drain(s) to the 1” header connected in a manifold.
The header must be at least 5 ½” below the condensate outlet of the
individual boiler and must remain fl ooded by being at least 5 ½” below the
outlet of the condensate drain trap..
5. Connect 1½” drain outlet to an appropriate waste line following applicable
codes. The 1½” drain connection on the condensate drain must be the
highest point prior to going to the drain. Failure to keep drain piping lower
than this point will result in overfl ow of the condensate drain. Slope the
drain pipe away at a minimum pitch of 1” for every 12 feet.
6. Attach a 1/4” water supply to the compression fi tting on the fl oat. The
water line must be connected to an uninterruptible supply. Fulton
recommends connecting it before the “Fast-Fill” valve to the boiler supply
but after the back fl ow preventer to avoid contamination of a potable
water supply. Maximum allowable water pressure to the compression
fi tting is 100 PSI.
Install pH Neutralization Kit
The pH Neutralization Kit is a Fulton-provided kit designed to bring the pH level
of the boiler’s condensate to a neutral level. It is not a replacement or alternative
for the Condensate Drain Trap. See Figure 8.
Adhere to the following for installation:
1. Use stainless or galvanized pipe and fi ttings to connect condensate drain
to kit.
2. Connect kit downstream of Condensate Drain Trap. See Figure 9.
3. Pipe outlet to appropriate drain.
NOTE: Replacement bags are available from the Fulton Parts Department.
The medium in the container will neutralize the condensate of 12 MM Btu’s
for approximately 6 months.

WARNING
All information in this manual is for
reference and guidance purposes,
and does not substitute for required
professional training, conduct,
and strict adherence to applicable
jurisdictional/professional codes and
regulations.
DO NOT USE GASOLINE, CRANKCASE
OIL OR ANY OIL CONTAINING
GASOLINE. If in doubt, contact
your Fulton representative prior to
operation.
Do not store or use gasoline or other
fl ammable vapors and liquids or
corrosive materials in the vicinity of
this or any other appliances. Cements
for plastic pipe should be kept away
from all sources of ignition. Proper
ventilation should be maintained to
reduce the hazard and to minimize
breathing of cement vapors.
Do not attempt to start boiler to test
wiring before fi lling and purging the
boiler. A dry fi re will seriously damage
the boiler and may result in property
damage or personnel injury and is
not covered by warranty.

CAUTION
The vent line connection on the gas
pressure regulator must be piped in
accordance with National Fuel Gas
code, latest addenda. In Canada, gas
installations must be in accordance
with current CAN/CGA, and/or local
codes.
