Condensate Drainage
Points to remember when routing condense pipework.
The pipework must be plastic.
Run pipework sloping to outside as steeply as possible.
Be aware that condensate can freeze so where possible pipework should route internally.
Increasing pipework size could help prevent blockage from freezing.
Pipework running externally should be as short as possible and insulated also consider avoiding exposed
positions.
Consider trace heating which is thermostatically controlled for the condensate pipework.
Consider an automatic pump unit specifically for removal of condensate if no drain point is easily
accessible.
Ideally condensate should connect to the sewer drain complying with local and national regulations.
BS 6644 states Alternatively, the condensate can be discharged into the rainwater system or a purpose-made
soak-away.
Always comply with local and National regulations and if in doubt contact the appropriate authority.
Strebel will commission Boilers on the understanding that the suitability of the condense drainage system is
checked by others and that compliance is always checked by others.
