User’s Information Manual

2 Maintenance schedule (continued)

The condensate trap (FIG. 2-1) must ￿ WARNING be filled with water during all times

of boiler operation to avoid flue gas emission from the condensate drain line. Failure to fill the trap could result in severe personal injury or death.

NOTICE	Use materials approved by the authority
	having jurisdiction. In the absence of
	other authority, PVC and CPVC pipe
	must comply with ASTM D1785 or D2845.
	Cement and primer must comply with
	ASME D2564 or F493. For Canada use
	CSA or ULC certified PVC or CPVC pipe,
	fittings, and cement.
NOTICE	To allow for proper drainage on large
	horizontal runs, a second line vent may
	be required and tubing size may need to
	increase to 1 inch.

1.The Crest is a high efficiency appliance that produces condensate.

2.The rear of the boiler has a 1 inch (25.4 mm) stainless steel drain fitting and a 3/8 inch (9.8 mm) stainless steel vent line for connection to the condensate trap.

3.Connect the 1 inch (25.4 mm) fitting to the 1 inch (25.4 mm) fitting on the condensate trap with the factory supplied silicone hose. Secure the hose to the condensate trap and the boiler using the factory supplied hose clamps.

4.Connect the 3/8 inch (9.8 mm) fitting to the 3/8 inch (9.8 mm) fitting on the condensate trap (shipped loose) with the factory supplied silicone hose. Secure the hose to the condensate trap and the boiler using the factory supplied hose clamps.

5.The condensate trap must be installed at the same level or below the boiler base.

6.The condensate trap is sized for a 1" PVC outlet connection pipe.

7.Plug the wiring connection from the condensate trap into the connector located on the back of the unit.

8.Slope condensate tubing down and away from the boiler into a drain or condensate neutralizing filter. Condensate from the Crest will be slightly acidic (typically with a pH from 3 to 5). Install a neutralizing filter if required by local codes.

A neutralizer kit (FIG. 2-2) is available from the factory (KIT40045). The neutralizer kit must be placed on a surface that is a minimum of 3 inches lower than the condensate trap.

9.Do not expose condensate line to freezing temperatures.

unobstructed, allowing free flow of

condensate. If condensate is allowed to

freeze in the line or if the line is obstructed

in any other manner, condensate can exit

from the boiler tee, resulting in potential

water damage to property. Call your

qualified service technician to inspect

the boiler and system.

10.A condensate removal pump is required if boiler is below the drain. When installing a condensate pump, select one approved for use with condensing boilers and furnaces. The pump should have an overflow switch to prevent property damage from condensate spillage. The switch should be wired to the auxiliary device proving switch terminals on the low voltage connection board.
