92 Installing a Common Vent System
To install a condensate drain to the common vent
system:
1. Form a loop with a drain hose and fix it with a
tie.
Note
●
While shaping the hose, do not
bend the hose excessively. The hose
will be deformed and the flow will be
restricted if the hose is bent in sharp
angles.
●
Do not fix the hose too tight when
tying the hose to form the loop. The
hose will be deformed and the flow
will be restricted if the tie is too tight.
2. Prime the loop using tap water.
3. Install the hose to the common vent system and
direct the end of the hose to a drain.

WARNING
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Check the loop again to ensure the water is still
in the loop.
The loop (siphon) must be primed with water
before running the system to prevent toxic
exhaust gas from leaking and resulting in
serious injury or death.
9.7 Installing a Condensate Drain
Refer to the following examples to install a condensate
drain hose (field supplied) to the common vent system.
The condensate drain hose prevents condensate or
rain from entering the exhaust system and gathering
above the backflow damper.
