Application Guide
The AM Series of boilers and water heaters come equipped with a condensate trap and neutralizer
tank (see Figure 10). It is crucial that these be filled with water to prevent combustion gases from
entering the room and/or gases flowing backwards through the condensate line. A corrugated tube is
provided to pipe neutralized condensate to a drain. It may be necessary to add additional piping to the
condensate removal system in order to reach an appropriate drain.

WARNING!
The condensate collection box must be filled with water to prevent flue
gas emissions from escaping during unit operation. Failure to comply
with this requirement can result in dangerous levels of carbon monoxide
and other dangerous gases.
