Condensate drain
Every vent system should have a condensate collector unless installed
with a total vent length of less than 5 ft. (1,52 m).
To prevent condensate from draining back to the appliance, a
condensate collector (B) and trap (C) should be installed. Attach
condensate collector to the discharge adapter (A). The trap must be
inspected annually for obstructions and water content in the trap.
Provisions must be made to properly drain and dispose of condensate;
be aware that condensate is a highly corrosive substance that could
damage metals. The hose (D) should be subject to inspection; kinks
must be avoided. Dispose of condensate in accordance with local
codes. Minimum water level in the condensate trap must be 3” (75
mm).
Shortening of vent extensions
Figure 17
The aluminum inside pipe should always extend 0.4" (10 mm) beyond the white plastic outside pipe on
the male end of the vent extension. Always cut the male end of the vent pipe extension. Do not attempt to
cut the female end.
Figure 18
Pipes overlap by 2.5“ (65 mm). Therefore when cutting to size, add 2.5“ (65 mm) to the extension pipe
length (X) needed for installation. Deburr the sharp edges, other wise the gaskets may get damaged,
which can result in the system no longer being air tight.
