Installing Vent and Combustion Air

WARNING

Ensure installation of the condensate drain assembly included the metal washer. Failure to comply could result in the trap assembly dislocating from the boiler.

DANGER

The PRESTIGE Excellence must be vented and supplied with combustion air as shown in the PRESTIGE Excellence Vent

Supplement, included in the boiler installation envelope. Refer to optional vent kit instructions for additional vent installation instructions. Once installation is completed, 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 installation requirements on the venting and combustion air piping will cause severe personal injury or death.

5.2

Installing Condensate Drain

Assembly ensure the metal washer is installed as shown in Fig. 11 on page 23.

NOTICE

The installer may want to fill the condensate trap with water prior to assembling on the unit.

2. Install the condensate drain assembly on the boiler condensate drain by pushing the condensate drain assembly up until it stops.

WARNING

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.

4. Remove the compression nut and rubber seal from the condensate drain assembly drain outlet.

5. Using 3/4” x 2’ flexible PVC tube provided, slide the compression nut and rubber seal over the pipe

NOTICE also acceptable. If 3/4” pipe is used deburr and chamfer pipe to allow mating onto the drain assembly.

6. Thread the rubber seal into the compression nut to ease installation of the pipe to the drain assembly.

7. Seat the pipe onto the drain assembly and tighten the compression nut. Hand tight only!

NOTICE

The installer may opt to use 13/16" ID tubing in lieu of rigid piping.

3. Tighten the condensate drain assembly retaining nut with rubber seal.

Installing Vent/Combustion Air & Condensate Drain

NOTICE

The drain line materials must be an approved material by the authority having jurisdiction. In absence of such authority, PVC and CPVC piping must comply with ASTM D1785 or D2845.

The cement and primer used on the piping must comply with ASME D2564 or

F493. For installations in Canada, use

CSA or ULC certified PVC or CPVC pipe, fittings and cement/primer.

8. Continue the pipe from the drain assembly to a floor drain or condensate pump.

9. The PRESTIGE Excellence will typically produce a condensate that is considered slightly acidic with a pH content below 3.0.

Install a neutralizing filter if required by authority having jurisdiction.

CAUTION

The condensate drain must remain filled and unobstructed and allow unrestricted flow of condensate. The condensate should not be subject to conditions where freezing could occur. If the condensate is subjected to freezing or becomes obstructed , it can leak, resulter and surrounding area.

NOTICE

When selecting and installing a condensate pump, ensure the pump is approved naces. The pump should be equipped with an overflow switch to prevent property damage from potential condensate spillage.
