A. GENERAL
1. The disposal of all condensate into public sewage
systems is to be in accordance with local codes and
regulations. In the absence of such codes, follow these
instructions.
2. Proper piping and removal of condensation from
combustion is critical to the operation of a condensing
appliance. Follow these instructions carefully to assure
that your Series PBC™ boiler operates correctly.
3. Depending on several factors, the condensate from
gas fired condensing appliances may have a pH value
as low as 2.5 (similar to cola soft drinks). Some local
codes require the use of neutralization equipment to
treat acidic condensate.
B. CONDENSATE SYSTEM
The condensate system for the Series PBC™ is designed
to prevent condensate back-up into the heat exchanger
and the passage of flue gases through the system.
The condensate trap must be installed by the installer:
1. The condensate trap is installed in the condensate
drain hole in the front left side of the unit
2. Insert the barbed and thread portion on the top of the
trap through the hole and secure using the 3/4" G
plastic locknut.
3. Press the condensate drain hose onto the barbed
fitting on the trap and secure using the provided hose
clamp.
4. The condensate traps outlet is a compression fitting
compatible with 3/4" SCH40 PVC piping, 3/4" clear
PVC tubing, as well as 1" flexible corrugated tubing.

Failure to or improper installation of the condensate
trap will cause the release of combustion products
into the dwelling leading to severe injury or death.
WARNING
Ensure the blocked vent pressure tap is not
dislodged while attaching the condensate drain.
NOTICE
Condensate from a condensing boiler is highly acidic.
A condensate neutralization system is required by
many local codes and is highly recommended. Older
homes with cast iron or metal drain systems are
highly susceptible to damage and eventual failure if
condensate is not treated properly before disposal.
