CONDENSATE
TRAP
All condensing boilers generate condensate discharge. The amount
of
condensate water depends on the working conditions
of
your appliance. This
can be up to
1.
7 litres per hour.
A plastic discharge pipe should be fitted to the outlet pipe
of
the condensate
trap using the black rubber connector provided and the pipe should run into
the drain point. Only plastic materials are suitable.
If the pipe work
is
not terminated within the Caravan Holiday Home
or
Park
Home any external pipes must be insulated against freezing and increased to
a 32mm diameter. Pipe work runs should be kept to the minimum possible.
All horizontal pipes must be connected at a slight 2 or 3 degree downwards
incline to ensure a good flow.
Before connecting the flue the condensate trap must be filled with water. This
is achieved by tipping 1 litre
of
water into the INNER flue terminal on top
of
the boiler as below. This prevents the risk
of
products
of
combustion
escaping into the dwelling. Take care when filling the condensate trap if the
drain pipe is not already connected.

CONDENSATE
DRAIN
TERMINALS
National and local requirements
for
the connection
of
the condensate trap to
drains should be taken account of. There are
2 suggested ways
of
draining
the condensate
for
a Caravan Holiday
or
Park Home. One is to drain into the
waste pipe under the home as below and the other is to drain into a soak
away, details
of
which are on the following page.
