1.5 CONDENSATE REMOVAL
IBC’s specied vent conguration promotes the safe drainage of moisture
from the unit and exhaust venting without owing liquids back through the heat
exchanger.
Reliable system operation requires (1) proper design and installation of
exhaust venting to allow condensate to run back to the drain/trap; (2) acid pH
neutralization as appropriate. To achieve these:
1. Allow for a 1/4” per foot slope back to the vent connection, with appropriate
hangers to maintain that gradient.
2. Ensure the supplied trap is correctly installed and lled with water.
3. When required, add (and maintain in good condition) a neutralization tank.
1.5.1 Condensate Trap
The condensate trap cup must be installed on the drain connection at the base
of the unit.
1.5.2 Installing the Condensate Trap
1. Fill the condensate trap cup with water.
2. Place the condensate trap cup into the condensate trap base and twist toward
the right.
3. Attach the drain hose to the condensate trap outlet located to the left of the
condensate trap.

WARNING
Fill the trap with water before
rst ring the unit to prevent
exhaust fumes from entering
the room. Never operate the
water heater unless the trap is
lled with water.
Failure to comply will result
in severe personal injury or
death.
NOTE
It is the responsibility of
the installing and/or service
Contractor to advise and
instruct the end user on how
to perform the Trap cleaning
procedure, and to advise
that the trap be checked at
least every two months and
cleaned as required.
