b Always maintain a slope “i” of over 3° and
ensure that the diameter of any hose used is
greater than that of the boiler’s own condensate
drain pipe.
b Connect the condensate drain hose to a domestic
water drain in accordance with national and local
legislation and standards.
b Fill the siphon with water prior to igniting the boiler,
avoiding combustion products entering the air dur-
ing the first few minutes the boiler is running.
b IT recommended that condensate from the boiler
and from the flue should be channelled to the
same drain pipe.
b The boiler base must be horizontal and flat in the
area of the support frame to prevent problems with
condensate evacuation.
b Any condensate neutralisation devices can be
connected after the siphon. For the calculation of
the duration of the neutralisation load, the amount
of neutraliser consumption must be evaluated after
one year of operation. The total duration of the load
can be extrapolated from this information.
b IT is recommended that there also be a siphon to
the condensate drain from the flue gas pipes.
The siphon is supplied with the appliance and must be mounted during installation.
b If installed outdoors provide an adequate protection system to prevent the liquid in the siphon freezing.
Condensate drainage systems must be:
- made in such a way as to prevent the leakage of flue and combustion gases into the environment or the sewer system (siphon
required)
- of the right size and type to ensure the proper drainage of waste liquids without leakage
- installed in such a way as to prevent the freezing of the liquid inside under normal operating conditions
- mixed for example with domestic waste liquids (from washing machines, dishwashers, etc.) mostly with a standard pH so
as to form a buffer solution that can be put in the sewers.
IT is not recommended draining condensate through rainwater drain pipes because of the risk of freezing and chemical
degradation of the materials from which such pipes are normally made.
Connections to the drain must be clearly visible.
