• The trap must be removable for routine maintenance. AERCO recommends that a union
be utilized between the exhaust manifold condensate drain port and the trap inlet port.
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 heater 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
drain. The maximum condensate flow rate is 20 GPH. The condensate drain trap, associated
fittings and drain line must be removable for routine maintenance.
NOTE
Two different styles of condensate traps are currently in use. The functions
and connections provided by each style are identical however the two
styles look slightly different. Figure 2-7 shows the two styles that are
currently in use.
