Installing condensate tubing

1.See Figure 11 to install condensate tubing (provided by others). Use condensate pump if floor drain is higher than condensate drain on boiler.

If required:

use a low-profile pump — OR —

set boiler on foundation (see GV Series 3 Boiler Manual) to allow gravity flow to pump.

2.Size pump in gal/hr. (boiler model):

0.78 (GV-3)

1.17 (GV-4)

1.56 (GV-5)

1.95 (GV-6)

Refer to pump manufacturer's instructions. Drain to a non-freezing area.

If vent pipe or combustion air pipe must be reassembled

When vent pipe or combustion air pipe is disconnected for any reason, it must be reassembled and resealed according to this Venting Supplement, the direct vent termination kit instructions and the vent pipe manufacturer's instructions.

Sealant recommended by vent pipe manufacturer must be used as indicated in their instructions. Vent and combustion air connector piping must be sealed gas-tight to prevent possibility of flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide emissions, resulting in severe personal injury or death.
