While observing the above guidelines, install the condensate trap as follows:
Condensate Trap Installation
1. Connect the condensate trap inlet to the exhaust manifold drain connection using the
appropriate piping components (nipples, reducers, elbows, etc.) for the boiler installation
site.
2. At the condensate trap outlet, install a 3/4” NPT nipple.
3. Connect a length of 1” I.D polypropylene hose to the trap outlet and secure with a hose
clamp.
4. Route the hose on the trap outlet to a nearby floor drain.
If a floor drain is not available, a condensate pump can be used to remove the condensate to an
appropriate drain. The maximum condensate flow rate is 10 GPH. The condensate drain trap,
associated fittings and drain line must be removable for routine maintenance.
Use PVC, stainless steel, aluminum or polypropylene for condensate drain
piping (Figure 2-6). DO NOT use carbon or copper components.
