Figure 13 ā Condensate Piping NOTE: Blow water into the condensate collector to remove any foreign matter that may block
the line.
NOTES:
1. Condensate line must be pitched at least 1/4" per foot to properly drain. If this cannot be done, or a very long length of condensate hose is
used, you must increase the condensate line to a minimum of 1ā ID and place a tee in the line after the condensate neutralizer to properly
reduce vacuum lock in the drain line.
2. Plastic pipe should be the only material used for the condensate line. Steel, brass, copper, or other materials will be subject to corrosion or
deterioration.
3. NEVER install condensate lines outside. It is very important that the condensate line is not exposed to freezing temperatures or any type of
blockage. Damages due to frozen or blocked condensate lines ARE NOT covered by warranty.
4. Support of the condensate line may be necessary to avoid blockage of the condensate flow.
When installing a condensate pump, select one approved for use with condensing boilers and furnaces. The pump should have an
overflow switch to prevent property damage from condensate spillage.
