5.10Condensate Disposal (cont.)
9.Ensure that the condensate can discharge freely (without blockage or restriction of the pipe) into the drain.
10.Examples are shown of condensate pipe methods of termination:-
i)via an internal discharge branch (e.g. sink waste) - Fig. 13.
ii)to an internal or external soil and vent pipe - Fig. 14.
iii)to a drain or gully - Fig. 15. Ensure that the condensate can discharge freely (without blockage or restriction of the pipe) into the drain.
iv)to a soakaway - Fig. 16.

5.11Condensate Pump Operation
1.The pump operates for 2 seconds when mains voltage is applied to the boiler, e.g. when the power has been interrupted and then reinstated.
2.If the boiler reset rocker switch has been operated the pump will run also for 2 seconds.
3.When the level of condensate in the sump is sufficient to activate the discharge float switch the pump will run for 7 seconds, during which time about 0.6 litres of condensate will be discharged.
4.In the event of condensate not being discharged the safety float switch will operate when the volume of condensate in the sump reaches 1.05 litres. Once the safety float switch has been activated the boiler will lockout.
5.The total volume of the sump is 1.5 litres.
