CONDENSATE DRAIN
The condensate drain provided on the boiler must be
connected to a drainage point, preferably within the
building.
The routing of the drain must be made to allow a
minimum fall of 1 in 20 away from the boiler,
throughout its length.
The drainage pipework must be arranged so that
obstruction (e.g. through freezing) of external
drainage pipe does not give rise to spillage within
the dwelling.
IMPORTANT. If excessive external pipework cannot
be avoided an additional siphon kit and insulation
are recommended, in order to prevent possible
freezing.
All pipework and fittings in the condensate drain
system must be made of plastic. No other materials
may be used.
The drain outlet on the boiler is standard 21.5mm
overflow pipe. This size must not be reduced in any
part of its length.
A plastic cap is fitted to the end of the condensate
drain adapter this must be removed before
connection is made.
