8.3 Connection to the condensate trap<br />
a<br />
Condensate<br />
produced by the appliance is mildly<br />
acidic (pH 3.5 - 5.0). Use protective gloves<br />
Condensate must only be discharged in<br />
accordance with these instructions.<br />
• Should the condensate be drained externally then keep the<br />
length of external pipe as short as possible. A minimum of<br />
32mm diameter insulated pipe should be <strong>use</strong>d, with a steep a<br />
decent as possible to the termination point.<br />
• The pipe insulation should be water, vermin and peck proof.<br />
• Only <strong>use</strong> push-fi t plastic pipe to connect the condensate<br />
outlet – Do not <strong>use</strong> metal pipes. Joints should be free of burrs<br />
and obstructions such as excess adhesive to avoid resistance<br />
to condensate fl ow.<br />
The volume of condensates evacuated can reach<br />
about 15 litres per day <strong>for</strong> a detached ho<strong>use</strong>. This<br />
volume is negligible compared to the volume of<br />
waste water discharged by a ho<strong>use</strong>, beca<strong>use</strong> the<br />
condensates are diluted in this water.<br />
• Refer to BS5546 and BS6798 <strong>for</strong> advice on disposal of boiler<br />
condensate.<br />

1 Condensate pipe<br />
2 Condensate outlet pushfit<br />
Make sure there is no protective plug fitted.<br />
Connect the condensate pipe (1) to the condensate outlet (2).<br />
The pipe should have a fall of a least 2.5° 44mm/<br />
metre away from the boiler.<br />
Condensate should, if possible be discharged into the ho<strong>use</strong>hold<br />
internal drainage system.<br />
• In order to avoid problems from freezing in adverse weather<br />
conditions it is strongly advised that condensate is discharged<br />
into the ho<strong>use</strong>hold internal drainage system. Note some<br />
installations may require the <strong>use</strong> of a condensate pump in<br />
order to achieve internal discharge.<br />
• If internal discharge is not practicable, discharge can be<br />
allowed into the external ho<strong>use</strong>hold drains or a purpose<br />
built soak away, refer to diagram overleaf and BS5546 or<br />
BS6798 <strong>for</strong> reference and advice. However, the possibility<br />
of freezing of the condensate should be considered, and all<br />
precautions taken to prevent this. This may include the <strong>use</strong><br />
of trace heating. The homeowner should be notifi ed of the<br />
possibility of freezing in severe weather conditions, and how<br />
to overcome the problem should it occur.<br />
