Condensate Trap Installation
1. Connect the condensate trap inlet to the exhaust manifold drain connection using the
appropriate piping components (nipples, reducers, elbows, etc.) for the heater installation
site. An example is shown in Figure 2-9.
2. At the condensate trap outlet, install a 3/4” NPT nipple.
3. Connect a length of 1” I.D. polypropylene hose to the trap outlet and secure with a hose
clamp.
4. Route the hose on the trap outlet to a nearby floor drain.
If a floor drain is not available, a condensate pump can be used to remove the condensate to
drain. The maximum condensate flow rate is 5 GPH for the RECON 500 and 8 GPH for the
RECON 1000. The condensate drain trap, associated fittings and drain line must be removable
for routine maintenance.
--WARNING! -
Use PVC, stainless steel, aluminum or polypropylene for
condensate drain piping (Figure 2-9). DO NOT use carbon or
copper components.
