Installing Vent/Combustion Air & Condensate Drain
SECTION V - Installing Vent /
Combustion Air & Condensate Drain
Installing Vent and Combustion Air
The PRESTIGE Solo must be vented and
supplied with combustion air as shown in
the PRESTIGE Solo Vent Supplement,
included in the boiler installation enve-
lope. Refer to optional vent kit instruc-
tions for additional vent installation
instructions. Once installation is complet-
ed, inspect the vent and combustion air
system thoroughly to ensure systems are
airtight and comply with the instructions
given in the venting supplement and are
within all requirements of applicable
codes. Failure to comply with the installa-
tion requirements on the venting and
combustion air piping will cause severe
personal injury or death.
Installing Condensate Drain Assembly
1. Locate the condensate drain assembly and
install as shown in Fig. 14 page 25.
The installer may want to fill the con-
densate trap with water prior to assem-
bling on the unit.
2. Remove the retaining nut, metal washer and
rubber seals from the condensate drain assem-
bly and slide over the heat exchanger conden-
sate drain nipple. Make sure to place the metal
washer on top of the rubber seals. Connect the
condensate drain assembly to the retaining nut
and tighten. Hand tight only!
Ensure installation of the condensate
drain assembly included the metal wash-
er. Failure to comply could result in the
trap assembly dislocating from the boiler.
Ensure the condensate drain assembly
contains the plastic seated ball. Do not
install the condensate drain assembly if
the ball is lost or missing, replace the
entire assembly.
3. Remove the compression nut and rubber
seal from the drain outlet.
4. Using 3/4” x 2’ flexible PVC tube provid-
ed, slide the compression nut and rubber
seal over the pipe
The use of 3/4” PVC or CPVC pipe is
also acceptable. If 3/4” pipe is used
deburr and chamfer pipe to allow mat-
ing onto the drain assembly.
5. Thread the rubber seal into the compres-
sion nut to ease installation of the pipe to
the drain assembly.
6. Seat the pipe onto the drain assembly and
tighten the compression nut. Hand tight
only!
The installer may opt to using 13/16" ID
tubing in lieu of rigid piping.
The drain line materials must be an
approved material by the authority hav-
ing jurisdiction. In absence of such
authority, PVC and CPVC piping must
comply with ASTM D1785 or D2845.
The cement and primer used on the pip-
ing must comply with ASME D2564 or
F493. For installations in Canada, use
CSA or ULC certified PVC or CPVC
pipe, fittings and cement/primer.
7. Continue the pipe from the drain assembly
to a floor drain or condensate pump.
