Condensate
(indoormodelsonly)
CondensateformaƟoncanoccurinhigheĸciency
directventappliances.Withoutproperdrainage
condensatewilldamagetheheatexchanger.
Topreventcondensatedamagefollowthese
instrucƟons.
DONOT
x Donotallowcondensatetoenterthewater
heater.
x Donotconnectthecondensatedrainpipedirectly
totherainsewer.
x Donotconnectthecondensatedrainline withan 
aircondiƟoningevaporatorcoildrain.
MUSTDO
x UseonlyventthatisapprovedandidenƟfiedas
acceptableforyourparƟcularmodel.
x ForverƟcalterminaƟons,installacondensatedrain
andtrapascloseaspossibletotheappliance.
x SlopethevenƟngtowardtheapplianceaccording
totheventmanufacturersinstallaƟoninstrucƟons.
x Allcondensatemustdrainandbe disposedof
accordingtolocalcodes.
x Useonlycorrosionresistantmaterialsforthe
condensatedrainlinessuchasPVCpipeorplasƟc
hose.
x Thecondensatedrainpipe(alongitsenƟrelength)
mustbeatleastthesamediameterasthedrain
line,(5/8inchNPT).
x Theendofthecondensate drainpipeshouldbe
opentotheatmosphere.Theendshouldnotbe
underwaterorothersubstances.
x Tominimizefreezingofthecondensate,runthe
condensatedrainlinethroughaninteriorwallor
betweeninsulaƟonandaninteriorwall.
x Thecondensatecollectorshouldbeusedforall
hydronicheaƟngapplicaƟons.
ChecklistforVenƟngand
Condensate(indoormodelsonly)
පVerifyproperclearancesaroundtheventsandair
intakes.
පEnsureyouhaveusedthecorrectvenƟng
productsforthemodelinstalledandthatyou
havecompletelyfollowedthevenƟng
manufacturer’sinstallaƟoninstrucƟonsandthese
installaƟoninstrucƟons.
පVerifythattheventpipehasadownwardslopeor
gradetotheoutsideof1/4inchperfoot(1.2° )
ORiftheventpipeisslopedtowardthewater
heater(assomelocalcodesrequire),thata
condensatecollectorisinstalledtoallow
condensaƟontodrainawayfrom
thewater
heatertoaproperdrainsource.
පVerifythatcondensatewillnotbeallowedto
drainbackintothewaterheater.
පVerifythattheventsystemdoesnotexceedthe
maximumlengthforthenumberofelbowsused.
INFORMATION
x Acondensatetrapisavailable,P/N222053.
x Regionsofcoldclimatewillcreatemore
condensateintheventsystem.Thecondensate
collectorshouldbeusedincoldclimates.
x Thecondensatedrainpipeshouldbeasshortas
