21 CONDENSATE DRAIN<br />
Refer also to the British Gas document: 'Guidance Notes<br />
for the Installation of Domestic Gas Condensing Boilers'<br />
(1989).<br />
Ensure that the siphon is full of water before<br />
commissioning the boiler . Refer to Frame 24.<br />
The routing of the drain must be made to allow a<br />
minimum fall of 1 in 20 away from the boiler, throughout<br />
its length.<br />
The drainage pipework must be arranged so that<br />
obstruction (e.g. through freezing) of external drainage<br />
pipe does not give rise to spillage within the dwelling.<br />
IMPORTANT.<br />
All pipework and fittings in the condensate drain system<br />
must be made of plastic. No other materials may be<br />
used. The maximum length of external plastic pipework<br />
is 3m and must be insulated.<br />
The drain outlet on the boiler is standard 21.5mm<br />
overflow pipe and is suitable for either push fit or solvent<br />
weld applications. This size must not be reduced in any<br />
part of its length.<br />
The boiler includes as standard, a 75mm condensate<br />
trap. The condensate trap also includes a siphon to<br />
reduce the possibility of freezing in the drain outlet.<br />
