3.9 Installing the condensate trap
IBC’s specified vent configuration promotes the safe drainage of moisture from the boiler and
exhaust venting without flowing liquids back through the heat exchanger (as done by some other
condensing boilers).
Warning
Fill the trap with water before initially firing the boiler to prevent exhaust fumes from
entering the room. Never operate the boiler unless the trap is filled with water. Failure to
comply will result in severe personal injury or death.
Ensure the supplied trap is
correctly installed and filled with
water.
When required, add (and maintain
in good condition) a neutralization
tank. For installation information,
see Installation on page 15.
The condensate trap must be
installed on the drain connection at
the base of the boiler. The
condensate drain must be piped to
within 1 inch of a drain or
connected to a condensate pump.
The drainage line must slope
down to the drain at a pitch of ¼
inch per foot so condensate runs
towards the drain.
